[QUOTE="Psionicist, post: 156620, member: 1874"] Thanks penny. I had an INCREDIBLY bad day yesterday, sorry. Here's an example to describe the problem: Take a car, one of those you find in the dumps. Fix the car. Fix it again and again and again until you have a V8 engine or anything like this, or vBulletin 2.x.x. Oops, the driver (user) found a "bug" in the engine, so the mechanic (programmer) have to fix it. The problem however is the X formed panzer-shell to protect the engine which is difficult to remove... ... ... The point is that if you build complex software, there are complex problems to take care of. Time consuming problems. The programmers have to improve and better the "core", things you and me won't see. IIRC vBulletin 2.x is 1800kb code, which is alot. To implant a feature some people won't use is time consuming and not so smart when there are other problems to fix. Because there ARE problems. The problem is that the "core" is never finished, that's the fun with programming. Optimizing and improving the actual messageboard code, which may result in errors and bugs and so on...
