Orginal release was missing 3 lines redownload and skip down to "Amendment from version 1.0" in the readme you just need to make that change to fix it. Also the method used to collapse the groups used is 99% different to the collapse post hack.
q2: Yes db support could be done, but adding it would make the hack more complex than I want to code/release.
Hmm changed my mind I might add this, it appears to be simpler than I first relised.
I've also followed this to the last detail documented. 1 small fix, the name of the getbrowser.php file is getBrowser.php in the zip archive. On unix systems it can't find the file. Rename getBrowser.php to getbrowser.php and it gets further.
Tested on WinXP I.E 6.0.2600
and Win ME I.E 5.5
Very nice hack indeed, I hope the problems can be ironed out. Good work.
