Thank you very much Gary! (karmanis clicks Install )

However, to make this hack a must, I would suggest you make 2 modifications...


1) Make visible the 10 most active members instead of only the first. (Such a thing will be in coherence with the title of the hack, "top posterS")

This would extend the functionality of the hack, and make it act as a whole information block instead of a simple line. Furthermore, it is more tempting if 10 users could see their name, rather than have just one been satisfied.



2) Modify the query to get the posters from not only the current forum but from the forum and its childforums .


The last one is going to solve the problem stated by TonTon, which also happens to me and is caused because if you are currently at a category and not at a forum, the query does not find any posts in the category so it can not find any posters to show.

Making the query to get the posts from all the childforums, the hack will be able to show the top posters like a charm.



Thanks again,
this is going to be a hack in great demand here at vb.org !
