The last update of this Mod was by Gizmoy. I haven't been able to contact him to ask permission to update my version of it, so I hope he doesn't mind.

Thank you! 

No worries. I'm sure you'd have found it yourself - I just happened to be on the computer when Derek posted.

Dandello - The language translations should really be placed into two separate mod files, like:

Quote:

You can unpack the User Age in Message View mod if you want to see an example.

If you include them in the main mod file, then the mod will fail to install for anyone who hasn't got the German languages installed.

And if you don't mind another suggestion - usually when we release updates we modify the first post and reattach the file there - It makes it easier for people to find the correct mod file to use.

He he! Have a more peaceful life.

I hope I'm not annoying you by keep mentioning these things?

Ah, I've just downloaded the package and noticed that the language patches still aren't correct. The way you've done it, it will try to install the mod again - the only thing that needs to be in the language mod files is:

<id>
Self_Delete_Lock YaBB2.5

<version>
0.3 beta
</version>

How it is now, the language mod files will fail because they'll search for code which has already been replaced. Think of them more as 'patches' - the only thing they should edit is the language files.

Also note that the author has to be on one line:

http://www.boardmod.org/docs/HowTo.html#Author

Installed using Boardmod no problems.

A couple of minor points see screenshot:

• SettingsMain ends with 2 pl
• SettingsMain has a hyphen in the middle
• cgi-bin/yabb2/Source/Profile.pl (should be sources)

Nice Mod
