This looks like an awesome mod. I have voted for it on MotM. However, I cannot install it until it allows for usergroup permissions and the ability to add forums to the favorites list.

Any idea when these will happen?

How do I manually alter usergroup permissions?

Please PM. Thanks!

You can't if you don't see it in usergroup permissions it's in conflict with another mod, I haven't tracked which mod yet.

is it possible to show a message if user doesnt have a favorite (post,thread,user) yet?
i have tried to add it myself but i cant get it to work..

in vbfavorites_navmenu template i added a condition to show my message when user doesnt have a favorite (!$show['vbfavorites_fav_lastthreads'] for example), but i cant get the menu to show unless user has something in fav.

I think the .zip file on the server may be corrupt as I can not un-archive it! I have just tried other mods to download and un-zip and all are fine apart form this one. Is anybody else having the same problems?

[terminator2k2]

Any solution on that? all the other functions are working fine

[just.b.jealous]

Anyone know the code needed to manually add a link to "Add this thread" to favorites?- I don't have this option in my "Thread Tools" menu. I think it used to be there a few mod installs back but it just went MIA on me.. any help offered would be great.
