Updated the installation instructions. Should be easier to digest, and thus quicker to install now.

Good news for forums running on servers configured to block the allow_url_fopen php function, today we released an update to the vBulletin classifieds mod that addresses a bug that impacted those forums. Today's release also includes a few performance enhancements.

Thanks.

Awesome new update today. You can now post a widget anywhere on your site to highlight items that are listed for sale in the enthusify-powered classifieds section of your vBulletin forum:
