I'm no programmer, but I don't see why vb.org allows only file and not template hacks. I don't know what vb.org's main purpose is, but I see it as a place where I can come and get nifty improvements for my board. There are some template edits out there that do just that. Enlighten me?

You'll need to use the vB.com forum to discuss template edits: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum

vB.org is for hacks only.

Ok, but why? Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to make trouble. But users are goal oriented, and when since template edits and hacks seem to fall under the 'VB improvements' category, I don't see why they're seperate. Forcing users to roam both forums is kinda strange.

Don't you think that might confuse people as to what is considered acceptable customization that will not throw a board into Jelsoft's "we can't support hacked boards" category?

Template changes are not considered hacks at all, so I don't see any reason for confusion. :)

More style sets for this forum could be added in the future, but right we focus more on new features for the forum. :)

What I meant is that some people will think that code changes are no different from template changes and plunge into making code changes without realizing that Jelsoft will then not provide support, but it's not a big deal. :)
