What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified by us whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

We appreciate the support!

Works great. Thanks.

3.8.6

thanks let me try it :)

I would like to use this with vbportal, how can I convert this? I think that listing a spotlight member in the whats going on section is hidden as most members dont scroll down that far

Agreed. Though I personally just moved it to another location.

I think a great idea would be having an option to set it at a few locations like how the shoutbox does it.

Above forums, Above nav bar, below forums, below nav bar etc...

Yeah allowing it to be posted in other locations would be great.

Also, in your code you have the collapse images set to your own custom template folder ("impact"). You should leave to the default /images.

No biggie...just an FYI to other members who can manually edit it.

Eddy, thanks for catching that, I'll fix it in the next release.
FreshFroot, thanks for the idea, I'll add the option to change it in the next release.

Is vBPortal even being developed anymore? I don't have a copy of it and from what I've seen it's a dead mod. Of course we could be talking about different things?
