is the templete style out yet?

Sorry to bring back a pretty dead thread but does ANYONE know how I can make the vB Assistant to automatically popup when someone goes to the homepage instead of having to click on it? Also is there a way to make it refresh automatically?

So, my vB Assistant seems to take around 20-30 seconds to load up, as well. I have a very active forum, around a million posts and some 12,000 users; we're on a top of the line dedicated system with 2 gigs of RAM. I hardly think that this is a hardware issue. I've reviewed the code though, and aside from heavy querying, I don't see why it should take so long to load. Any ideas on why it's taking long?

Bug (confirmed), in that vB Assistant cannot handle usernames with apostrophes or special characters, and uses malformed queries:

this works great, except for that fact that the message preview doens't show up. it just says:

You have 1 new messages.
12 are old messages.

And there is no link to go to your PMs.

I also can't get any of the sections to collapse, could this be due to the fact that I'm on a mac?
