Its not an SMF issue, its an issue with SMF Garage, which is written by a single guy in his mothers basement (not me). I had to do quite a bit of work to get it to natively work with SMF in general.
It started as a port of a garage system for another BB software set. It stayed at that point forever. He finally released a version that works with 2.0 (which was one of the things that was holding me back on updating to SMF2). On another note, this pretty little theme we have here, I have to convert it by hand. The themes are not cross compatible between SMF 1 and SMF 2. Also, remember that pretty little 8 hour outage we had? The one where various things were broke for a week afterwards? That was due to the SMF 1 to SMF 2 update trying to run (not intentionally) and failing miserably.
Let it be known, I AM working on Club S12 v4.0 at the moment. Despite what the title says, we are currently on Club S12 v3.6, based on my own modifications and SMF updates to their base software.
ANYWAYS, lol, thanks for prompting me to post some of the information above, Shark. It's been something I've wanted to do for a while. And based on the date, I think it's time for Club-S12 v4 to get rolling, cause I need a renewed interest in something.
