Real nice, thanks a lot!

Thanks for your mod. :)

You need prefix.

very nice, however if you know how to get the blog comments to show on a non VB page, that would be fantastic.

I will try and sort something out if I get time.

After I install this it writes the contents to the top of the page, above the header and all. There's no header either. Did I miss something?

sounds like it.

Use Module Wrapper Template - yes
Use clean file output - yes

Can this be used on the Forum Home page too? If so, how?

P.S. I did get it to work on the vbAdvanced page, but it's not converting BB links. Any way I can change it so it does?
