Okay, well at least we have the original stats back. Now, let's see - if the manual template edit didn't work for you that means the code to fill that variable isn't getting reached. That's in the forumhome_complete hook. Someone isn't playing nice, so go into the vbTrends forumhome_complete hook and set the 'Execution Order' to 1. See if that helps.

Hmm, still nothing. I checked to see if any other plugins were hooked at forumhome_complete and yours is the only one. I manually edited the template again, and got a blank. If no one else is having this problem, I can just go back to 1.2.6 and use it. I updated to get the "Changed template to still show total threads when trend is negative and 'positive trends only' is enabled."

If you want to PM me a temp login, I'll see if I can find the problem.

i got blank on both mysites

when i manuelly edits it... but when with auto replace.. i just got the regular stats.. not the one with vbtrends..

If you want to PM me a temp login I'll see what I can do.

i just don't know what is wrong.. i tried on two sites..one with template edit.. one with out. the template edited one becomes blank.. and the other with autoreplace.. still remains the same stats.. not the vbtrends..

subnet_rx and blastup:

There is an odd bug I don't quite understand yet, that was first reported by KingPin6 in this post. Please try what he suggested (going into the usergroup and saving it), to see if that fixes the problem.

Also confirm trends no longer showing up, both auto and manual edits.

And when I tried doing permissions suggested by kingpin, received this database error:
MySQL Error : Unknown column 'vbtrends_permissions' in 'field list'

Uninstalled.

Good.
