Have you search for it in the mod section/page? If you find any of them not yet compatible, do check its thread too as it may be updated there.

Yes, I've searched. There is a mod but it is far outdated.

One more query, do want the image to show on both sides or on just one side of name (i.e to the right or left of name)?

Just one side, to the left. But if you can, set an option for either just in case

I have already completed it and even have it updated for all versions of SMF.

[Arantor]

Please do not upload modified versions of others' mods without their permission. If nothing else, it's technically illegal unless you can demonstrate having Bulakbol's permission to do so.

[Matthew K.]

I have removed the attached package for now, unless you have permission from the original mods author, as Arantor has already stated.

How is it illegal is there is no license attatched? Nor has the mod even been updated for 1+ years.

[Arantor]

Precisely BECAUSE there is no licence attached. A software licence is the only thing that grants you any legal rights to software whatsoever, other than that it's protected under copyright law as a creative work.

So then how would I be able to create my own version of the mod? Having it as outdated as it is ******ing ridiculous.

[Matthew K.]

Just write your own version...from scratch without copying code.

From scratch, using no original code (unless there truly is no other way of doing it without duplication), or permission is obtained from the copyright holder to reuse their work. Yes, it sucks, and several things have been suggested to stop it happening in the future but until the rights are cleared to a mod, that's *it*, I'm afraid.

This is true for literally any other mod where a licence is not explicitly stated. This is also what led to the discussion in Coding Discussion started by SlammedDime entitled 'Mod authors, license your mods!' (or words to that effect)

[Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail]

I think you can choose any one of this:

1. Ask the mod author to update it; or
2. Ask his permission to update it for him; or
3. Help updating it but for your own self use (don't share it); or
4. Help updating it, share it in its support thread but don't claim it as yours (give no warranty whatsoever too).

The fourth choice is a bit controversial too but I opine that it is ok and acceptable unless the mod author ask for it to be removed. But normally, if you have done the first two with no response for more than 3 month(s), it is up to you then.

I normally use the third option but do help others with the fourth option. But don't follow me. Follow the captain. He's in the lead.

if you do option 4, you are not allowed to attach the mod unless the license the mod is under allows others to distribute the modified code, although you can post the changes you made in a post.

[Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail]

You can see all mods' threads that are here in SMF and you can see a lot of them were uppdated by members for members with no objections from the mod authors. Those mod authors always have their right, of course and may ask for any updated attachment to be removed. All mods that are submitted is subject to SMF license if they don't use their own, i.e.  the code cannot be distributed elsewhere. But the question remains if it is updated and distributed here in SMF especially in its support thread where numerous members have been asking for the mods' updates with no response at all from the mod authors. I believe, if the mod author is kind and fair, he will allow others to help updating his mods, by members for members, without making it is the updaters' mod by way of updating. By the way, all mods in SMF is for to be shared and used by members freely. If there is any intention to keep it private and/or paid, SMF forum is not the place for it and should never be there at the first place.
