MOD Author Line

Code:
## MOD Author: your_phpBB_username < your_email > (your_real_name) your_url


The MOD Author line consists of four parts. Only the first part, your_phpBB_username, is required. If you choose not to put anything for the last three parts, you need to put N/A in its place. Here are some examples of what is allowed.

Code:
## MOD Author: wGEric < myemail@mysite.com > (Eric Faerber) http://mods.best-dev.com

## MOD Author: wGEric < N/A > (Eric Faerber) http://mods.best-dev.com

## MOD Author: wGEric < myemail@mysite.com > (N/A) http://mods.best-dev.com

## MOD Author: wGEric < N/A > (Eric Faerber) N/A

## MOD Author: wGEric < N/A > (N/A) N/A


The follow are not allowed.

Code:
## MOD Author: N/A < myemail@mysite.com > (Eric Faerber) http://mods.best-dev.com

## MOD Author: wGEric <  > (Eric Faerber) http://mods.best-dev.com

## MOD Author: wGEric <  > () http://mods.best-dev.com

## MOD Author: wGEric <  > ()

## MOD Author:  < myemail@mysite.com > () http://mods.best-dev.com


Multiple MOD Authors

Each MOD can have more than one author. Each author will need his or her own line and all of them must be filled out correctly (Read the MOD Template article for information on how to fill out each field). We suggest that you list authors chronologically with the top author being the most recent.

Here is what the MOD Author line would look like if you have two authors.
Code:
## MOD Author: your_phpBB_username < your_email > (your_real_name) your_url
## MOD Author: your_phpBB_username < your_email > (your_real_name) your_url

Each part of the line will have either N/A or the correct information for each author. Remember, the phpBB username is required.

If you had three authors, you would add another MOD Author line below the other two. Here are some examples

Code:
## MOD Author: wGEric < N/A > (Eric Faerber) http://mods.best-dev.com/
## MOD Author: smithy_dll < user@domain.tld > (N/A) http://greenday.smigit.com/
## MOD Author: ycl6 < N/A > (Y C Lin) http://macphpbbmod.sourceforge.net/
## MOD Author: Darkmonkey < N/A > (N/A) N/A
