Josh, I don't think what is being asked is unreasonable. And your reply was rather surprising. I once read a post where you suggested something similar to a member who posted a mod and they replied with a sharp, "be lucky I post anything" attitude. I thought that was uncalled for and that that member must have an exceedingly bloated sense of self-importance.
Even a novice can hack their BB if the instructions are presented clearly. I'm not saying training wheels clear, but certainly a couple of extra key strokes indicating which directory the file is in can't be too difficult when you're pressed for time, can it? It would avoid having to answer questions down the road for the inexperienced who wants to (try to) enjoy hacking up their forum themselves!
Practice makes perfect.
The whole idea of your community forums is to promote UBB.threads and provide fun and guidance for .threads licence holders. It seems to me your site is targetted for novice owners to .threads masters and, imho, you need not point out that you provide hacks as a courtesy. You also provide hacks because it keeps the community interested in coming back; not to mention that you make some side sales with your paypal code, your spider code, and your services as a result of running this site.
We all appreciate everyone's hard work and sharing. It keeps us coming back, and over time and with guidance you are right, hacking does become second nature. Your patience is appreciated and we know that our suggestions don't fall on deaf ears. Although though there have been 167 downloads of this mod, it is likely not all of them were successful installing it but didn't ask for help and gave up instead. Lots and lots of people are registered "lurkers" and never post at all. At least that's how it works on my forums.
Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not telling you what to do or how to run your forums. Just making a suggestion that you consider the great suggestions these members made!
Thanks for this awesome meeting ground. I for one appreciate it tremendously.
