Some of you seem to mistake the role of admin. The role of an admin on this board is to be an admin on the board, to manage rules, help out members and mods, etc; not to code. While I appreciate the offers of help, I am afraid that it wouldn't be very useful. From vB2, we've seen that just applying whatever random hack looks cool ultimately does more harm than good; we ended up with a 6 month old board because if we upgraded, there was no telling what would work and what would not nor what we would notice right away and what would go unnoticed for a long time. Sure, I could easily just install all the hacks you guys ask for, but I'd rather test them and inspect them first, and consider their risks and merits. Also, it is important to have one person with all the information to retain the state of the code from version to version. Right now, I am waiting for Chruser to grab the latest version of vB for me so that I can install it; I can say with certainty that I have everything I need to easily apply all the current hacks to it, because I am managing that information better now.

I have a very usefull tool.
It's called Araxis Merge, and with that software, you can compare 2 PHP files, and make the edits if necisairy.(sp?)
With this, you can upgrade a fully hacked board in just 30 minutes.
You can get a free demo, search download.com for it
You might already know this program though, heh.
If you want, I can set you up with the files needed for the upgrade, as Chrusher probably will need to pay another 30$ or something for the upgrade files, as you guys own a neverending license, and your members area has probably expired oO.
Upgrading from vB3 to vB4 (when it comes out) will always be a pain in the ass, even without any hacks installed.
