Thanks for the release. I've been waiting for this.

Alright, now this is weird. Whenever the plugin is enabled, the sub-forums on the forum's homepage are gone completely but whenever I disable the hack, it works just fine. Any idea?

Can't you achieve this by changing the colors in the HTML markup?

The forum where there are problems have specific parameters compared to the others ?

yes you can...just set your usergroup Username HTML markup with an html color command (span style or font color) and you can accomplish this same feature on every section of your board...of course for those who aren't familiar with the html commands this could be a useful mod

[Snake]

I think BBF's right. Well at least, it doesn't work fine to me.

This makes it show up on FORUMLIST, there is no previous option for that.

Oh and also, this executes 60 queries on forumhome. You might want to do something about it...
