Cool mod- it's great to see that people are still developing stuff for vB3.

I have one comment to make, however, and it's more of a general one. The web has evolved to the point where stuff like this can be seen as more or less archaic. Rather than seeing a bunch of numbers and links to new stuff, people just want to see the new stuff. Thus, one cool idea for a future mod would be something similar to this that simply displays new posts/threads/pictures/SG messages, either at the bottom of the forum, or in a sidebar. I think that would go over well as a pro modification, too, as the current offerings for vB3 are lacking. I want to write my own sidebar, but I never have enough time!

How can u make the Welcome Panel collapsible?That's not possible yet, but will be added in a future version.

vB3 collapsibles are more complex than vB4 ones.

good catch that was going to be my answer lol, i looked over the code and the only calls to a js file have

$vboptions[bburl]

which would mean had to be your url (or something else) causing the error ;)
