Other software / Re: SMF 2.0 final THIS MONTH?

According to one support specialist :whistle: post today, RC5 is near ready for release
http://www.simplemachines.org/…c=402014.msg3036936#msg3036936
It amazes me that with so few people on the team one hand has no clue what the other is doing. And I see they just took on a new support specialist who in my opinion made the grade by her post count hedged by "We are all volunteers here", "Stop asking questions".
More post like that will surely be rewarded with a promotion to developer.
Seems she fits right in the the other obnoxious team members.

Plugins / Re: Mods - no not *that* question!

For what it's worth - 2 cents, maybe less with the exchange - What I have observed is that the use of mods have been the reasons for many problems with the core, base program. And then you get the prolific mod infested forum that suddenly and inevitably elicits an urgent cry for help.
I'm not a coder, I'm a user, too old to learn more than cut and paste or click on install but from what I've read any mod that makes changes to the main code runs the risk of changing or conflicting with other mods. I've run 25 forums for years that have themes and one portal, and have never had a system crash, blank pages, or what ever. But then I have had crashes with a test site where I over loaded it with mods. And I've read of many cries for help from others who butchered their site with mods.
So on the question of mods and the base code I would prefer it all be part of the base code to assure its integrity and unity with the rest of the code. And in the case of a must have mod, I hope it's like Nao said, it will be scrutinized heavily before it's approved.
