##
## There is a collision with the Real Name mod at
## section 16-17. So make sure to add u.realname in the
## query to keep the Real Name mod intact (or make a diff
## if you're uncertain). There might be a collision with
## Calendar mod on this row too, so be vigilant.
##
## Skip the swedish translation at 22-23 if you don't have
## swedish installed.
##
## Line numbers might be slightly off, so use the
## search/find function primarily.
