[Pilot]

I installed it but have some questions/comments.

Step 5 - need to clarify that subdirectories under /images are used.

Step 7 - took me a little while to find this as I don't know much about templates.

Step 8 - Don't know where to do this - I have opted not to modify any VB php files - ie not to install the optional hacks - so how do I add these domains to the exclude list?

(Why is this needed anyhow?)

Can you also explain how to add the optional hacks in the "install.txt" file so I can later revisit this without re-running the install script?

It looks good - some problems - it shows 2301 threads new in last 24 hours and 36 new views (no way!).

I think the last 24 hr views and threads numbers might be mixed up.

PS - What is a link queue? What is the "activity level"?

Any idea of the performance overhead of this hack?

How much still works if you leave out the phpinclude part (which presumably cuts the overhead)?

You definitely need to exclude hidden forums (order value of 0) and obviously don't show information about threads that they can't normally see (eg forums they have no access to).

The security issues are rather problematic and I can't let my users see this until they are sorted.

Great hack for admins though. When you update it please include instructions on what's needed to upgrade for existing users of the hack.
