Hi,
in my infinite struggle to have FUDforum and CodeIgniter get along well, I came across an instance where the presence of __autoload() in core.inc causes problems (it tries to load one of CI's classes, which obviously is not in FUD's path).

I had to resort to a ugly hack checking the classname, but it would just be much better to get rid of __autoload in the first place and include the necessary files when needed (I will have to redo the hack every time I update FUD).

Also the use of tons of globals may lead to name conflicts. It would be much better to have only one global variable which is an object of options (or array of options).

The autoloader was fixed to only look of and load exiting FUDforum libraries.

Changing all settings to one global variable will be a lot of work. You are welcome to implement it, provided you do all the work yourself and leave the code in a working state. Let me know if you need SVN commit access.

I'll first work on a local tree, if I can get everything in order I will then ask for SVN access.

Thanks
