Nice!

I was going to do something like this and I like the way you handled it. It's exactly how I handled it for my ubb homepage except you've taken advantage of the templates table, which I love.

Used it to store random member id and random link id of the day and calling them to my homepage instead of the forum homepage.

Featured link is already working. need to make a tiny profile summary box for the featured member.

Will probably expand this for of features of the day like random trivia question of the day. I'll just add 2 more fields with todays trivia id and yesterdays trivia id. that way I can have todays question and the answer to yesterdays. (before you ask about the trivia. it's not a real hack. just added a table with 3 fields, id, question, & answer. then just grabbing the text. No admin form to edit them or anything. just phpmyadmin for now.)

thanks again, it will get used alot.

PS - was trying to think of a nice way to make it member of the week instead of day. I mean I know I could change it every 7 days, but it seems like I'd eventally knock it off by reseting it in the middle of the week or something. plus you'd need a check for end of the month / end of the year. anybody got a nice idea?

the easy answer would be to just make it feature of the month bu that would be too long of a time period.
