I second that!

Does this also allow members to add Social Groups and vbBlogs to their favorites? I really need this to work with vbBlogs in a big way!

Please let me know.

THANKS!

Yep I have same problems here! I running vbadvanced and vb and nothing updated on my navbar. I can add members and threads to favorites.
There is no link to add posts to favorites and there is no navbar drop menu. If I try to navigate to your php file it says I dont have permission.

Is there a usergroup setting? I looked but don't see any!

HELP PLEASE!

THANKS!

[yotsume]

Manually edited the navbar. That all works now.

BUG REPORT:
When on the view all fav page your drop menu is broken! That needs fixed.

Thanks!

That's probably not the best way to request assistance from the modification author. It's not like you're paying him for his time to upgrade it. In fact - Perhaps THAT might be the best way for an upgrade ==> send him money

Nature of the beast. When stuff is free it's entirely the author's choice whether s/he ever updates it.
If you really want an updated or modified version you could always make a paid request.
