sounds interesting ntldr.

look forward to checking it out.

fyi, if you're interested in seeing what i've been doing with your script, check out these screenshots.

Index - Top
Index - Slide Menu Open
Index - Bottom

because this style is a fixed width, i used a nice sliding menu to save space. normally i don't like slide menus but this one is slick and smooth. plus i did not set it as static so it doesn't scroll with the page (i hate that).

you can't see it, but under the polls, i have various ads controlled by karatekid's banner hack.

this is only the main vbindex... there are another twenty pages... lol.

Ive got a Problem with it.
It shows the newstitle, the newsavatar and the newsicon. But the Newstext is not showing.
Ive checked everything twice. I set the settings with the newsforumid, and i have all templates. What can it be??

[NTLDR]

Read though the thread, its probably been mentioned on every page for the last 3 or 4 pages.

[Kars10]

i can?t find it NTLDR, sorry! Please have a look.
Its not my Problem that this hack rocks so much that you have build 75 pages full of Posts
I hoped u as the hackmaker could help me out!

[Kars10]

Forget about it. It was the update postids-thing. Thanks, works now!!

/me klicks install.

[NTLDR]

Update counters holds the solution to your problem.

hi guys thanks for the great index i tried the vblite and just could not get the main page to show but this came up like a dream.

one thing ive been triing for ages to get my main title to be centered above the buttons and ( ok flame me time) for the life of me cannot find the right code i know it's easy but my brain is giving me selective amnesia.
but again thanks for the page now i just need to give it looks.
