Did you install it fresh in 3.8 or was it there before the upgrade.

I've installed it on to of my site, one fresh the other one upgraded. Both are working perfect.

Mine is working OK now, just had to import the product a few times, don't know why.

Not working for me.

I had it already on my site before upgrading and now it's not working. Darn shame too was a great mod.

Also if you have any forums set to No

Forum is Active (Will not appear if set to no, but remains accessible if the forum's URL is known)

They do not appear in the list of forums to exclude.

ELSE
        {
            $vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] =  "71,53";
        }

That automatically opts out of 71,53 for everyone.

Seemed to be Ok on 3.8 until I altered the forums I wanted to search, am now getting this db error. Now can't use user cp nor can other users, anyone know how to fix this please?

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.0:

Invalid SQL:

UPDATE user
SET lastrepcheck = 1233055081
WHERE userid = 1;

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'lastrepcheck' in 'field list'

Found the problem, it deleted a column called lastrepcheck in the users table...

so my plugin should look like this if I want to block forum #137?

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'])
{
	$vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] .= ((!$vbulletin->GPC['exclude']) ? $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'] : ',' . $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp']);
}
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'])
        {
            $vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] =  $vbulletin->userinfo['excludeforumsgnp'] . ',137';
        }
ELSE
        {
            $vbulletin->GPC['exclude'] =  "137";
        }
