Just call me troublemaker
I guess it's good and bad. Helps make your hack compatible with more systems, bad in the fact that I've put you through a bunch of hassle over the past couple of days.
I've installed a second test copy of vbulletin that I'm testing this hack with, and have previewed it to the other forum moderators on our site. They are impressed! Once we get the bugs worked out, it'll be great to roll this out to our users (many of which know nothing about newsgroups!)
I'll give the changes a whirl, and let you know how it goes.
Thanks again for your speedy reply!
