Nice suggestion there DWZ

And add $lastposter in your home_newsbit template where you want the username to appear

I may also add this in to the new version.

Worked great


But I just ran into a problem :\

I went to add a user-group to my board today, and I got this message:

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.2.5:

:\

any idea what's wrong?

I would guess that you made a error changing your usergroup.php file, check the change that you made to it.

Yeah, that was my first guess. I used vBhacker to do the changes origanaly, and I just went over it again now, and it looks fine.

[Mr_P]

NTLDR below link is not your hack but i am trying to get it to show the stats from it on VBindex but having no luck at all.
I had to revert to backup copy as totally screwed up forum.
If you get time can u check it out,i know its a bit of a long shot as its another hack by Bane and not made by you.

Sounds like your using PHP 4.2.x and a lower version of vB then 2.2.6. Could you post a screenshot?
