Simple Machines Forum has a mod that fixes all sorts of basic issues that typically arise from moving an installation to a new server and from users making mistakes while customizing their installations. It also fixes all sorts of issues that are common problems with the configuration of the software. I would like to hire someone to build a similar mod for CM. It would be awesome if it were an ongoing project and would be even better if there was input from the CM support people about what are the most commonly asked about issues that could be addressed in the mod.
Here is a link to the mod for SMF. It outlines what could be adapted for use here with CM.
