Re: long mod threads
I agree with closing long mod threads and starting new threads. The new thread should contain a summary of any errata concerning the mod that was brought up in the old thread, so that you don't have to read the old thread to find out if there are any issues with the mod.
By the way, when I publish a revision to a mod that someone else wrote, I like to list the revision history, including author(s). For example:
...
AUTHORS: sixpack69, Dr_Manhattan, Max Fisch, Lisa_P, Astaran, Dave_L
...
HISTORY:
2001-05-04 sixpack69 - Original release (UBB.threads version 5).
2001-07-14 Dr_Manhattan - Reworked.
2001-11-09 Dr_Manhattan - Revised.
2002-02-13 Max Fisch - Modified to include more database conversion.
2002-05-29 Lisa_P - Adapted for UBB.threads version 6.
2002-06-25 Astaran - Added fix so that hack would work correctly when old and new usernames differ only in alphabetic case.
2002-07-06 Dave_L - Expanded displayed information on entry form, and added same checks that are in adduser.php.
2002-07-10 Dave_L - Added more columns to username conversion.
