Perhaps there should be a site devoted to custom scripts that interact with UBB and other applications. I do not think UBB.Dev would be adequate as it is more of a modify the UBB not attach the UBB to other software type deals.

Something even more simplistic then UBB.Dev as in most cases that site can become very confusing as when the UBB changes the original thread is just amended not a new thread started for modification for a newer version of the UBB hack.

P.S And no I'm not going to even offer this time as last time I made such an offer for a specialized site like this some spammer wanted to insult me on this board.

I think UBBDev would be more than adequate as it's a development forum...

Perhaps it could be reorganized and threads with mode not span across several releases with a mod then part of a mod rewritten a few times through several releases making it so confusing that you just give up even trying to understand it.

Would be better if the entire mod file was re posted in full not just well change this line to this for this version then a few post's later the same thing. Would be easier to build a rocket step by step with some of these updated many time mods.

I always re-post my mods in full when I make changes for new releases. I plan to update the instructions for my mods once 7.5 goes Au.

Well, according to the license, we can't redistribute stock files; hence why it's "add this, move this" as it'd be against the license to just share pre-modded files...

Well yeah. I meant that I update the entire "add this, move this" instructions instead of just making a post saying bla bla lines need to be changed to work with Version such and such.

I think everyone that makes modifications and additions knows the license agreement. What I was talking about for example Multiple Identity Detector. This thread is so confusing by the time you get to the end of it you don't know what your doing.

Perhaps when it was first written it worked but then you have to read two more pages and make many modifications to the hack and hope you didn't miss anything so it works.

The proper way would have been to make all the changes for each upgrade in a separate thread having the entire hack per UBB ver in a single thread not spanning several UBB versions in one thread.

For someone who is not a programmer and just wants to add a cool hack this is frustrating and most likely will not work for them as it is laid out in that particular thread. The result is people who do not return to your site and decide they do not wish to try to add hacks or learn how to make modifications to their site or message board.

If your not understanding this then I totally am wasting my time trying to explain it to you.

I completely understand what you are saying. It can get frustrating when a code change you need for a certain version is buried in the thread somewhere.

See, I understand but disagree... I do maintain some of my mods on seperate pages for some versions, and it's quite a chore trying to go in and make sure each thread gets updated when you make a simple update... Especially for some that are for way older versions...

Now when it's one thread, and one parent (original) post to update, it makes it far easier to address any changes for each version...

I would agree that the original posters should update their initial post with new information defined in the threads; it'd make it far easier for new users... But they should have been doing that as changes occour in the threads (I update my mods whenever a new issue arises so users don't need to bother reading through the pages)

Agreed, the original post is supposed to always contain current code/instructions. For the mods I've worked on I update the original post and give a running changelog there too.
