Welcome Panel v1.0

Yup, a welcome panel, very generic

Just look at the preview if you want to see a working example, do note that nothing is displayed for guests.

For those concerned about queries, it does add 5, however the run time on these queries are on the average server below 0.01 seconds, for me they all execute at 0.001xx seconds - so it shouldn't effect performance too a degree you'd notice.

A Question / Bug :

When a user see the panel, and lets say the forum has some Private Forums, it displays there also for the simple users, that for example there has been 5 news posts. But if he clicks there and the posts have been done in the private forums, he doesnt see anything..

So my main question or request is if we can exclude Private Forums from this counter there or even "show" them only to ppl that have access to these forums and the others see another number

Hope u understand what i mean


Also

Is there anyway, we can make some special icons to be shown instead of the text links that are on the panel, i mean the "view new posts", "view posts in the last 24 hours" and "edit your profile" ?
Please if so, provide me a code so i can know what to do

nice hack, but it causes a lot of serverload and a slower loadtime on forumhome...
we have about 200.000 posts and i think, that the new posts search is causing that...

yup, I disabled the plugin and watched my server load drop in half in about 2 minutes.

is there a way to decrease all font sizes in the welcome panel?

also, 'Your most active in' should be 'You're most active in'.

The You're Most Active in is very easy to fix, though I guess ZT should re-edit that small grammatical error :P. Not a big deal anyways.

Thanks for this nice welcome board, great work!! though I cannot figure out why all the welcome panels in the previous posts look awesome and why the later ones posted (including mine) look very less like the one posted by ZT .

I installed it and love it, on my new 3.5 board upgrade, but I have a question I am shocked nobody has asked.

Where it says : 1 Unread Private Messages, shouldn't that be a link to the Inbox? I wish I knew how to do it. I think that is a very important change. I took out the "pm" part out of the "breadcrumbs" on top, so not to be repetitive, but now my users have to manually go into profile and change it. Can someone please help?
