Disable showing extensions in footer

That's what this extension removes.

What surprises me is why any extensions are installed on the support forum itself. Surely, common sense would say to run a demo forum to showcase the extensions. What happens if they create 100 extensions, for example. Will they install them all on here?

On most forums, the PM mod might have it's place. On here though, I would personally say not. The problem with PM, (and I know it was only meant to be an example), is that you could get people discussing problems privately via PM, and hence any solutions not appearing in the forum for future reference.

Personally, I can't think of any mods which would truly have a benefit on here offhand.

Oh, and look at the query count too - I am now seeing **27** queries just to view this.

What happened to PunBB = fast and light?

33 queries executed  V Fluxbb = 9 queries executed

I gets 2/3 queries per post.... and the ones with 6 pages is getting 50 queries...

Well one of the 6 page posts ( 20 posts per page) gets 50 queries...

60 on this page: http://punbb.informer.com/forums/viewto … 84&p=2

p.s: Connor, apologies for the thread deviation.

That definitely ain't going to go down well with a lot of places. I know the query amount versus query quality can balance each other out on occasion, but I'm sure there's no valid excuse for running a separate query for each post in a topic.
Just been diddling around, and that link above, with a posts per page setting of 50 is listing approx: 109 queries.

By the looks of it, I'm assuming it's showing the overall installed extensions.

When you start adding extensions into the mix, fast and light gives way to extensible.

Whenever you have software that can be extended, you're going to have users that install many extensions. Just look at Firefox, I bet you there are many users with extensions installed in their browser that may slow them down but they prefer to have the functionality, adblock comes to mind.

We're entering another realm here, it's going to get interesting cause PunBB was easy to support with a tight core, now each install will take on a life of it's own. Come to think of it, i just answered my own question, why does each extension register itself in the footer.

Not necessarily. There are many heavily modded 1.2.* forums out there, mine included, and I personally would be aghast if I ever coded sloppily enough to exceed 20 queries in total, including the core queries, on any page.

This is just a sloppy coding issue. This also brings another point to bear, however. If the extensions are examples of the coding practices we are due to see here, then this does not bode well. I thought the days of the 1.2.* series were done, where you had to double check every addition you installed for sloppiness of coding and general security issues.
Personally, this would not put me in a peaceful frame of mind regarding how things are progressing if the extension responsible for this, (I believe Connor said it was the karma mod), is anything to go by.

This is an extension itself, so put it to extensions folder and install it if you need this.
