LeberMac, use felblog on TP.

SMFHacks, you may want to include a menu button into the mod for the next update. Took me ages to figure out the code to put the userid in the url for http://path.to.your/forum/index.php?action=viewblog;u=uid. I wrote up a tutorial in this post for anyone interested.

Can anyone elaborate on why Simple Blog is unsafe? Especially now, since the mod has been removed on Simplemachines.

Should I ask for answers on a postcard?

[SMFHacks]

I removed it from the mod site too many errors with. One day I will make a new blog system that was better than the old one.

Thanks for the info.

I am currently working on a new blog mod myself. Using my newly learnt PHP skills. I am hoping not to make the same mistakes I made last time and will be taking my time in releasing it.

smfhacks,
  It's still there, on this page,
http://www.smfhacks.com/hacks-2.html
with a wicked little lie, that it's
ready for 1.1.2.  HUH!  Honestly, who
wrote that it's ready for 1.1.2? Returns
97 errors for me, corrupt or incompatible.

There is a version for 1.1.2 floating around.

Can anyone advise? I'm on SMF 1.1 RC3 on the default theme, with about 20 other installed mods.

[SMFHacks]

This mod is no longer in development. I would not use it.

i was looking forward to it but i don't see any stable version there to download !!! is it still in test ? i couldn't find a figure page either !!! what's new in it ?

[SlaveToThis]

The version history should give a breakdown of what has been added

As for stability I currently have a number of people Beta testing with not many problems at all. If you want to test it you can, other than that you can wait for a public version.

I would say though that it is more stable than Simple Blog ever was.

i'm not experienced enough with smf to be a tester but thnx anyway !!! i guess i will wait for the stable version announcement !!! thnx again !!!
