you have one query less because nobody voted on your poll, or you didnt. but you are correct, there are 16 queries.
you are missing the pollvoted one.

Ahhh, so that's the solution of the puzzle. Thanks for clearing that up.

Completely unrelated question: when is teckwizards.com due to go online? I wanna see how you hacked/optimized your board :)

pretty soon. :)
that's the reason also i backed a little the iconews. i realised that i focus more on my hacks then on my site...

screenshot's are here:

i have it on mines
iconews, but my board is completly changed..

Yeah, saw those screenshots before. You really are good at this.

:bored: :glasses: thank you!

about vbHL, what is good is it's simplicity. it runs really well, doesnt use alot of queries and it's really speedy.
same like it's big brother vBulletin.

i have an idea, i think i will add a switch for smilies also, to disable it if you preffer not to use it. it will save a query. what do you think?

ok, is done, now there are only 12 queries performed. :)

Teck,
Did you get a chance to look at the bug where the old News items do not display the text after a re-install? I guess it will be less of an issue if you're going to provide upgrade scripts from now on.

this is not a bug. is normal. let me explain it to you.
all information for each article is stored in a special field that the installer creates.

when you uninstall, the installer delete that field from the database, so all information is lost.
when you install a new version, a new field is added, but empty with no data onto it.

that's why you dont see the old articles anymore. this problem is solved in vbHL 3.3. when i will release a new version, it will include also an upgrade file, so you will not lose anymore any data.

happy now? :)

I've been happy ever since I found this hack!:) It's exactly what I was looking for. The upgrade scripts will make it much easier to keep up with all your great work. Thanks!

awww

no icons till 3.4

Anyhoot, any plans to add the calender to the left side of VbHL Main Screen... i think all emphasis is placed on the right and the left is unbalanced

I would attempt to change it around myself but me -vs- tables aint a pretty site

Maybe put calander and who's online on the left or something

Teck.. site SS's look good. Way to go
