I don't see how it can be a MOD for Icy Phoenix when the Javascript is coming off-line at "src='http://xbb2.com/b.js"

I also agree with this post:

Can I also suggest you make the javascript and swf files part of the mod rather than linking to xbb2.com? I don't know who's website that is, but I personally wouldn't install this mod because it involves trusting whoever owns that website, which, no offence if it's yours, but I don't.

should be easy to download that js file and make the corresponding changes. depending on the licence of that script.

hopefully opensource

Nope! That's what makes it worthless as a MOD for any Open-Source software.

That's why I'd avoid it with a ten-foot Pole, German, English, Croat, Japanese or Calathumpian!

Hehehe!

Hell! it's New Years Eve, and I've got a few more wines and beers to sample before the mouse runs up the clock! So it's Ta-Ta from me!  

BTW - this mod got approved by phpBB =)
h**p://***.phpbb.com/customise/db/m...de_constructor/

even the oficial site has a phpbb3 plugin for direkt download of this mod.

The fact of the matter is ->

If YOUR website is down - The MOD is useless to anyone who has installed it be it phpBB or any other forum software.


Read this and maybe you can tell me why people should trust you to control javascript that is directly injected into their forums?

anyway.

new icy got better bbcode options

It also appears that phpBB.com has removed both the so-called MOD and the post I linked to in the previous post, in which the writer was also amazed that phpBB was stupid enough to OK a MOD that wasn't a MOD.

phpBB reviewed this mod and put it back online:
h**p://***.phpbb.com/customise/db/m...de_constructor/

anyway, I want install that mod on my sites, cause i don´t like not known mods, crawling round my sites.

it might do what it says it does, but it might aswell try to do some unwanted things on the site, and if i don´t see the script itself, so i can review the code, and it is´nt GPL open source, i don´t want it

Exactly same thing like Facebook Connect MOD   I bet in the Facebook javascript you will find something like (c)Facebook... and in Google Wave, and...

No doubts! It's not to replace Icy BBCode system, it's pretty much designed against a user who sees any BB site for the first time, reluctant to read anything about BBCode, but loves to post something like:
Hey dudes, look at this awesome thing: h**p://and_here_goes_long_meaningless_and_ugly_url

anyway. it looks like your script is beeing rejected on other forum script sites aswell.

with nearly the same reasons when here.

I´m not saying that all Icy users reject it, but i would prefer a Monster (included in Icy script like a standalone plugin) like you said in one of your posts on other sites, when a script not hosted on my own server.
