DragonByte Technologies are proud to present InfoPanels Lite v2: The most feature-packed Welcome Panel system for vBulletin.


Why InfoPanels?

Info Panels is another product from DragonByte Technologies, creators of vBActivity and vBShout. Info Panels allows you to display useful and interesting information in a much more user friendly way, allowing your members to access important areas of the forum, and important information, without having to go through different menu screens.

The Top X Stats portion of the software allows your users to keep track of whats going on in the forum almost in real time - perfect for boards with many forums which are hard to keep track of!

The Welcome Panel displays all the information your users may want to see instantly when they log on, without having to go searching for it.

In addition, there are many improvements and upgrades to the What's happening and Forum statistics blocks.

EDIT: is there a way to indicate where you want it located on the home page?
its up top above the forums and id rather have it below...thanks

Choosing your own location is a feature of the Pro version :)

Cool mod- it's great to see that people are still developing stuff for vB3.

I have one comment to make, however, and it's more of a general one. The web has evolved to the point where stuff like this can be seen as more or less archaic. Rather than seeing a bunch of numbers and links to new stuff, people just want to see the new stuff. Thus, one cool idea for a future mod would be something similar to this that simply displays new posts/threads/pictures/SG messages, either at the bottom of the forum, or in a sidebar. I think that would go over well as a pro modification, too, as the current offerings for vB3 are lacking. I want to write my own sidebar, but I never have enough time!

been waiting for this, awesome <3

tnx

How can u make the Welcome Panel collapsible?

That's not possible yet, but will be added in a future version.

vB3 collapsibles are more complex than vB4 ones.
