Outgoing internet connection here is too slow to upload a file of this size (just over 100 MB, since it contains avatars, flash games, etc.) into SnitzBitz. Since SnitzBitz doesn't show the progress of uploads, I cannot tell if the upload will time out. Thus I've chosen to put it on Google Drive instead.
I duplicated a later reply above so that the latest link to obtain the package will always be at the first page instead of making people search for it.
I think I will make a modular version of Snitz, not sure if the .Net version is already using this idea. My thoughts are that I take as many of the mods as possible and integrate them into a single package.
Instead of installing them as written, though, each and every function should be contingent (including their appearance in admin configuration menus, with the exception of a single modular option menu) upon a variable switch. The admin modular option menu should include links to descriptions of the module (ala pop_help) to facilitate administrators' choices of whether to use the function(s).
Some of the pages will necessarily become quite a bit longer, since all versions of modified code will have to remain ... and where code is modified by several different modules, there will have to be "If and" options based upon all combinations of affected modular switches before choosing which section of code to use.
I think it's worth doing, though. It's a much more user-friendly way (especially for non-coders) than what we have now. Those who do not have programs which show line numbers and/or file comparisons often change the wrong lines due to coding similarities in files. Users could simply install the package (without running any modules or changing any code outside of "config.asp") and choose functions from the module list.
It's a big job, though. I have almost 300 mods in my Snitz package folder, so don't expect any overnight completion. I'll try and work on it periodically, cannot devote all my energy to it, and keep people posted as to the progress of integration.
I wish we had the polls integrated here because I'd like to get some idea of what people wanted most of the larger mods (and which version of some of the smaller ones, such as anti-spam) to help prioritize. |

OK - I added 190+ mods to it, I'm still working on adding a drop-down menu (with/without graphics). I will package it and upload to Google Drive in the next 24 hours for anyone who wants to try it out without the drop-down menu.
Edit - It's up on Google. See the link on the first post, page 1. |

No, there are still some bugs I'm working on. We're close, though. I'll package it again (as it's in use now) so you can test it if you wish. |

Do you think that this package is cleaned up enough to be ready to use on a live forum, Carefree? |

Sorry.
Nothing wrong with a little humor - it just makes it harder to manage a project thread like this when there are little asides like this one. It's where I sometimes wish the Split Topic (or something like it) was in play here.
Start up another thread and I'll be happy to regale you with thoughts only occasionally grounded in the facts available. 
please delete it all.. |

You can sign up for the preview of Windows 10 at http://preview.windows.com/ but you will need a different machine to use it with than your regular one.  |

Do you mean Windows 10 and, if so, what does that have to do with this? |

There should be a closing quotation mark at the end of the line. |

Was looking at the themes mod and saw that a number of buttons weren't included to match the provided themes, so I decided to create automatic CSS-styled buttons (login/logout & Snitz) to match the format of the category cell colors. Now, in order to match the color scheme within "forum.asp" (which is where 99% of the theme's work is done), the header cell and category cell colors should match in the "my_theme2.asp" file, especially since there are no categories displayed there. When on any page other than "forum.asp", the default color scheme is used and the category cell colors are used instead. |
