good points, all of'em.
and i definitely dont want to sound ungrateful for infopop doing all they can to bring out a better product.
certainly, those like me who use ubbdev and other such features to hack and modify the boards are in the great minority of infopop's customers, and thus, have to understand that they're simply doing what the majority would like.
its just frustrating, thats all
i loves me the "big-name" hacks (i.e; who's online, avatars, news fader, etc), and these are traditionally the "heart-breakers."
meaning, when 6.0 was out, everyone was waiting and dying for who's online for 6.0. ... after weeks of patience, it was learned that 6.05 was coming out, so who's online plans were scrapped, in favor of promoting the newer versions WOL. same thing for the other hacks and their newer versions. repeat for 6.05 - 6.1 - 6.1.5, etc.
(and, from what i hear, 6.2 will actually FEATURE wol!)
it just gets to be a pain, as i want to install a final, working version of those mods before tweaking the rest of my boards (so i dont run into compatability issues). but then, if those hacks never materialize, neither do the rest of my mods.
i've used programs like multihack before, but never beyond compare, so i spose i should check that out, n'see if that helps the situation a bit.
