HF Xtension Extension

Hack Forums Xtension is a compilation of features packed into a single, ultimate suite. From Thread Changes, Forum Changes, Private Message Changes, Global Changes, and Conversation Changes, HFX does it all!

HFX 2.0 is the extension users loved; rewritten from the ground up. It is now compatible with all the recent forum changes and gives developers opportunities to contribute.

Version 2.7.x marks the end of development for HFX. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting HFX. It's been a passion project of mine for years and it wouldn't be what it was without users supporting it along the way.
