great ,
installed!

as outlined in my first post. If you are running the ultimate side columns hack then it will not display the tab. When I disable the side columns hack it displays the tab.

I have noticed that the tab shows on threads tho, but it still does not show on forum home or in forums.

Can anyone comment if there is any performance decrease after installing this hack and Google Analytics?

The tab does not work on Firefox 3.5, 3.0.11 as reported by my users. It seems to work with Chrome and IE.

I can confirm that it does work with firefox 3.5. Users may have to logout and back in and I would recommend clearing both cache and cookies prior. Or at minimum force a page refresh to make sure they are not looking at a cached page.

Inconsistent behavior though:

Under IE8 the tab is on the left side of the forum but yet the Google page opens from the right. Did not do this in prior versions that I remember.

Under FireFox 3.5 the tab is on the left and the Google page opens from the left.

I do not believe this can slow down the forums when installed becuase from what I can tell it does not access anything until you click on the tab. However since images and javascript are being called from the VBSEO server on top of data from Google you are at the mercy of both services when used.

Also just to renote that this also does not work on the IBProArcade page.

Could you tell me how to do this? I asked my host if they would do it for me, but they declined, stating a service price of $100.

I have a VPS so I actually compiled php again with that option. If you have a shared server, I'm not sure how much you can do except paying your host.

I have a VPS too... not sure how to compile php though.

You can recompile php/apache via ssh using the command /scripts/easyapache or from within WHM: Main >> Software >> EasyApache (Apache Update)

You'll find the option for Openssl in the Exhaustive Options list.

This may seem silly, but... for those having trouble - are you SINGLE clicking on the Stats tab or DOUBLE-clicking? You must double-click in order for it to extend outward. At least that's how it works in Firefox. Took me over half an hour to figure that out. Hope it helps. :)
