At A Glance:Pros:- analysis-mode allows you to check compatibility in seconds
- allows you to add modifications in seconds
- most mods have .mhk's ready-made
- good support among the developers
- much less time spent on support of mods for developers since installation errors are cut to virtually nil
Cons:- a buglet or 2 remain when creating new mhk files
- support for non-pc platforms would be nice, but that would be a lot of work for a couple of machines
- I am waiting on .threads support
Overview: MultiHack is a Windows based application that is designed to make the creation and installation of message forum hack software much easier for both parties. For the hack author it means less chance for errors on the end users part, thus less support issues for you to deal with and more time to do what you like, creating hacks. For the hack user, it means the same thing. Less problems installing hacks and gives the hack authors some room to breathe.

Review: If you are like me, you are always sitting behind a computer screen, tinkering here and there, always trying to improve your site/forum. When a new version of software comes out, you can use Beyond Compare to upgrade, but that's only for relatively minor upgrades. When making a rather large jump in software versions, you'll need something better - that something is Multihack.
In just a few minutes, I can upgrade my forum software to the latest version and add my favorite modifications in a few clicks more. What's more, since I know at a glance that the forum software and the modification are compatible, no time is wasted with installation errors on incompatible versions. If they turn out incompatible, I can edit the exact place the modification is stinking myself, or let the developer know and it is fixed for everyone.
As a developer, I spend much less time supporting modifications, since most support deals with installation errors. Multihack makes that occurrence very rare now.
