ok I am using 3.6.2 and I think the layout is a bit different. e.g. the code shown below is now this on my forum:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px">
<tr>
<td class="tcat" width="100%">$vbphrase[threads_in_forum]<span class="normal"> : $foruminfo[title]</span></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="forumtools" nowrap="nowrap"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_forumtools" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[forum_tools]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("forumtools"); </script></td>
<if condition="$show['forumsearch']">
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="forumsearch" nowrap="nowrap"><if condition="$show['quicksearch']"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_forumsearch" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search_this_forum]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("forumsearch"); </script><else /><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search_this_forum]</a></if></td>
</if>
</tr>
</table>

Should your code be altered to take into consideration the changes between the one in your post here and also the one I have posted above?

Also the only way to add something to the forumdisplay_start in the plugin is to edit a product that uses this and add it to that plugin. I assume this is correct as there doesn't appear to be any plugin for this actual hack itself.

Any more comments or direction appreciated.
