Hey Paul.... Your hacks all rock!... I have them all installed on my forum....

One thing I would like in the top posters display list is to have the usernames be active links to their member homepage... is there a line I can throw somewhere to get this to work....?

Thanks again for the great hacks........ Lance

It would (I think) require a template edit and changes to the sql queries.

Thanks Paul.....

I am not a coder, so wouldn't know where to start...I can only follow directions, and am lucky if I can pull that off most of the time LOL Maybe you will consider this for a future release....... :)

Cheers, Lance

Yikes, for some reason my forums didn't agree with this at all. Importing the product gave me a blank screen (well, blue, but no text) each time, and I got this:

Page generated in 29.82860 seconds with 16 queries [Server Loads: 3.79 1.50 : 1.01]

On each of my pages. I'm sure it's probably something to do with my particular setup, since Paul's a hell of a coder, but yikes, it was the hack of doom for me.

/me tries to determine what the sod happened

And upon checking my email, I get this SQL error trying to add the plug in:

I don't have this installed, didn't have it previously installed, and the only thing that I can think of is that perhaps this is using the same product ID as one of your other hacks?

Paul, I hope I'm not hijacking this thread, but do you know of a hack that shows the 3 or 5 (or however many) top posters per board?

Can you create a Column to display their respective ranks?? Like 1, 2 , 3 etc

And also a cup (Like the arcade leaderboard) for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd member would be great :)

Unfortunately you have fallen victim to impatience and a lack of feedback from the product install system. The installation includes creating two indexes, which on larger forums can take a bit of time (and as you noticed, drive the server load up while they are created). vB just shows a blank screen while this creation takes place.

Because you stopped the install mid process, the product id exists, which is why you get the duplicate problem. On the import, try setting the "allow overwrite" to yes. Install it at a quiet period and just leave it to proceed, blank sccreen and all. :)

If you want to drop me a PM with admin access to your forum, I can probably do it for you sometime in the next week or two. It should be less than 30 mins of work.

That is the nicest way I've ever been told to stop being an impatient sod, ever. :D

You're absolutely right, thanks very much sir.
