Thanks for the updates! Do I need to do anything to upgrade other than re-upload the files? :)

Re-upload the .PHP files and then import the .XML file and set "Allow Overwrite" to "Yes." Then tweak the new settings like you want. :)

Updated, went perfectly. Some nice updates, thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing where this mod goes, as it could be a major feature for my website. Once an article is gone from my website homepage, it's hard to easily keep a top list, so this is very nice.

I wish the vBulletin community was as active as it used to be, I hope you know that while the audience may be smaller, your effort are still very much appreciated :)

A couple of ideas I am getting set to work on is the addition of a cpnav file, and breaking the unwieldy settings page into six pages, each accessible as a navoption. Also, I am thinking about the creation of a separate log table for this product, rather than using the moderator log. :)

Update: Version 1.9:

• Fixed bug where if no thread prefixes are selected for exclusion from user-nominations, the nomination buttons will still show up.
• Settings sections separated into idividual pages, and now accessible from the AdminCP sidebar.

Hi Mark, thanks for the updates again!

I've been thinking about what I'd like to do with the static "Featured Threads" page, and I think I'd like to work towards something like the example below. I'm wondering if we are on the same page, or if I should work on another solution (knowing me, hardcoding a page!).

I'd like the Featured Threads page to be a standalone page for my website. At the moment I use vBAdvanced (sadly no longer supported) for my home page and other web pages. So my home page articles are really just truncated forum posts with links to the main thread. I'd also really like the page to share the vBA page elements (side blocks).

My issue is that when I post a lot of new updates for my homepage to keep the content fresh, there is no way to highlight older articles that are worth reading historically, and not just the current news. This feature would solve that, but it must be a standalone page like my homepage.

I looked for some simple website examples, and I think the following would be a nice easy template that would fit most purposes:

http://myanimelist.net/featured

The part of this page I am looking at is just the main section, not the side menus (which would be added by vBA). It starts with a 2 column view with larger graphics, title, short description, and author. It would be nice to have the date posted next to the author too. Then after the top x threads, they move to a single column list of articles with small thumbnails etc.

That are your thoughts? Is this a direction you are interested in too, or should I look for another solution? Whatever your thoughts, thanks again for supporting this community - we need more people like you :)

Thank you for your support and kind words. :)

I do agree the static page is mundane and leaves a lot to be desired. I like the direction you are suggesting for this, and would be a major improvement for the product. At the moment I can't give a timeline for it, but I am definitely interested and will be moving in that direction. :up:

That's awesome news - my website is for a gaming guild that is currently inactive while we wait for a specific game to be released, so I'm in no major rush. I'll happily stick with this mod and am happy to help with any feedback you need :)

Update: Version 1.9.5:

• Several minor bug fixes.
• When viewing the "User-Rated" threads the voters and their votes are displayed when hovering over the number of votes.
• Thread icons show up to the right of thread titles in search results.
