i don't understand what this does

You click on the work "Lucky" in your navbar and it takes you to a random post.

yes it does - it works fine in IE7, firefox, and opera

whaoo lol...
uhmmm
i don't know if i want to install this one

Add the code where? Above or below the code?

After.

Before would break the code for the previous cell.

This addon definately works on IE7 for me and on Firefox for many members of my community who love it, but like me would much prefer to have it not include certain forum sections.

Question - This addon won't go showing up threads for private forums or for places users don't have permission to view, right? If it does that would seriously need addressing and quickly for the addon to remain useful.

does this take care of forum permissions and even user/group-permissions to certain forums ? It would be bad to be randomly linked to a thread in the internal moderator forum and result in a "no permission" page ;)

Great! Installed.

Ok strange, I have two pcs, both using ie7. On one it works on the other it doesn't. The only diff is one is on xp and the other is on 64 bit vista. I'll have to have a good look at the vista pc if it is due to a security setting.

Installed, but I keep getting a database error:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT thread.threadid, thread.dateline, thread.visible FROM vbthread WHERE NOT ISNULL(thread.threadid) AND thread.visible = '1' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1;

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'thread.threadid' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054
