@RAHSTYLES Why don't you upgrade to the current XenForo version? I assume you don't because there's a cost associated to it that you judged too high. Perhaps it's time, or expertise, or both. The same applies to me. For instance, the add-on works on PHP 5.3 even though it's been dead for several years and there have been 3 major versions released since then. Because of that I cannot use short arrays and some other features that were added to PHP several years ago. I have to be mindful of its quirks and bugs. If I had to support XF 1.3 it would increase the maintenance cost of the add-on and I'd have to rewrite large parts of it too.
There's a cost to every technical decision. Performance/resource usage, development time, code complexity, maintenance, training/expertise, etc... Whatever it is, someone has to pay it. What you're trying to do is shift this cost to me. This is not a good idea, because as the sole maintainer of this add-on you should want me to spend my time on
future development, not squander it on old code. In fact, before I started typing this I was working on the
dynamic width feature. The 14 minutes I spent writing this are lost forever to no one's benefit.
Anyway, I don't want to sound depressing so the takeaway is this: you want developers to spend their time on new stuff, not old stuff. Also, I'm working on the dynamic dimensions so-called responsive thing.
