Is there a 3.6 port of this hack? I couldn't find it.

Each post includes a link to your thread and the member's profile in the footer of the post. You just need to add your domain name in place of the default one in the Gateway Settings menu.

There is no 3.6 port and I doubt there will be as long as this one works. There are a few bug fixes scattered out inside this thread so it might be worth doing a page by page scan to see what all is here. The hack, in it's original forum, is quite buggy but the fixes donated by members in this thread make it bearable.
