This did not work for me as it conflicted with another plugin (VsaBanners). I see other's had the same problem but with other plugins.
The fault is not with this plugin but with the other plugins which use globacl_start as hook and call vB_Template::Create. This causes the template to rerender which then breaks things.
Seeing as global_start is depreciated the tip was to change the bad plugin to use parse_templates which I did and everything worked!
thanks for the plugin - makes for better OG details.
