Yeah, I'll update it. There are a lot of excellent suggestions for updates from loads of people that can be used. Just waiting for vB3 final to be realeased so we know what templates we are dealing with. I'll see if I can figure out why the avatar code isn't working in the meantime. Though it doesnt surprise me that it doesnt work for vB3 as so much has changed.

Oh, I just realized that the "since your last visit" part works on the forum home page but none of the other pages since vb3 has that part on all the other pages now.

Yeah, ther's a lot that's changed. Not just the way vB3 handles the call for avatars.

It'll need some thought. Might be an idea to make the navbar with the breadcrumbs and a wel;come panel into one. Not sure if it would be good to see your avatar and all that info on ever page though.

Also... all those "temprary" buttons will likely turn into something or be removed. Another reason for waiting for the final release.

Yeah, avatar and the new posts/threads on every page wouldn't be right... I moved the "View New Posts" over next to new posts/threads and made it a text link.

i use vBPortal 3.0b and vB 2.3.0 and wanted the welcome (it worked fine in 2.28 b4 vBPortal was isntalled) it works fine but the avatar isnt being displayed

any fix for that?

Oh yeah, btw.... I was experienceing forum slowdown's, especially during peak time, and it was the worst on the forumhome... well I ran the sql explain stuff and found out that the line:

PHP Code:

---

$getnewpost=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT count(*) AS posts FROM post WHERE dateline > '$bbuserinfo[lastvisit]'"); 


---

was causing a major slowdown because there was no index on post.dateline, if you add an index on it (and thread.lastpost for good measure since it has a similar query) you should see a nice speed improvement, especially if you have a good number of posts (my forum is approaching 400,000).

Greate hack.

I modified a lot my Forum Home.

Something useful for you all:

On Forumhome template add this whre you want:
