cPHulk. How 'pretty' is the enemy of usability

Luckily, when I first got my DV, the cPHulk interface in WHM was usable and efficient......I think that was version 42 or 44.....can't remember exactly which Because in the latest 66 version it is optuse and a royal PITA to use. Also, the 2 week suspension option appears to have gone bye bye. In the previous version there was a simple text box that showed all the deny's, and it was easy to add a rule there, or do a quick add. Now there's a huge list on the right that details the deny's, and it's VERY PRETTY. However, when you add a new rule, the option to show how many reverts to 20, so you have to change it to 100/all to see all your rules if you have a lot of them. And there is NO WAY I can see to do a simple c/p to move your list to a different DV or whatever. Bottom Line: You took something that was easy to use and efficient, and turned it into a monster that is OBTUSE to use (and obviously uses a ton more processor time to process). But hey.....it sure is PRETTY. z

  Hello,

  And there is NO WAY I can see to do a simple c/p to move your list to a different DV or whatever.

  
  We do offer some WHM API 1 functions to make this type of task easier. Here are some documentation links should you want to explore this: WHM API 1 Functions - read_cphulk_records - Software Development Kit - cPanel Documentation WHM API 1 Functions - create_cphulk_record - Software Development Kit - cPanel Documentation

  Also, I seem to recall that the previous version let you ban by just entering the first pair, as in 206. ......now you have to put in the full mask 206.0.0.0/8

  
  Ranges must be added in CIDR format: Our Developers and Community Managers utilize the feature request website to help determine how to shape the product going forward. Thank you.
