History:
I'm sure most of us are aware of trilOByte's popular Welcome Hack that was available for vBulletin 2.
I myself had it installed on my vB2 forums, and after upgrading to vBulletin 3 missed it, so, seeing as nobody else had, I decided to make my own version.


Description:
This hack does two things:
1. It alters the look of your forum's index page by reducing the size of the "What's Going On" box to just one line (more if birthdays / calendar events present). This box is also shifted up to the top of the page, beneath the navbar.
2. The information that it strips out of that box is not lost though as it is moved up in to the navbar box at the top of the page. The general statistics are only displayed on the forum homepage, as well as your avatar, and the number of new-posts and active-threads since your last visit. On all other pages, the navbar remains as it was.


Zip Contents:
welcome_hack_vb3_v1_2.zip
|- instructions.html :: Instruction on how to install this hack.
|- forumhome_loggedin.gif :: Shows what your ForumHome will look like after installation with a logged in user.
|- others_in_and_out.gif :: Shows screenshots of the hack in various states, plus a screenie of the vB2 version.
|- noavatar.gif :: Placeholder for those users who don't have an avatar set.
`- guestavatar.gif :: Placeholder avatar for guest viewers.

Testing:
Tested on vBulletin 3 RC 2


Files to Modify:
forumroot/index.php


Templates to Modify:

Nice job man! I thought maybe I messed up when I nstalled this on our board.
Your fix is just what I needed. THANKS!

for some reason, this hack keeps extending my forumhome's table width so it makes it look kinda weird. What's up with that? Any clue?

You get an error when loggin out if you upgraded to vb3.0.1. This hack has you replace the navbar template, which causes the error. Can we get an updated version of this hack for people who upgraded to 3.0.1?

I am a bit tied up at the moment as i've just been offered a new job 300 miles away, which I have to move for inside two weeks, and in that time I have a 7 day vacation. Sorry but I just don't have the time to look at fixes for v3.0.1. Hell, I didn't even know there was an upgrade.

Hwulex,

I hope the move and job goes well and I'll just keep an eye for a reply.

Anyway, maybe someone else has seen this. I have vbadvanced. On the forum home the total amount of member isn't showing nor is the newest member. But on all other areas (vbadvanced included) it shows up correctly. And when in vbadvanced the number of members online double....

Thanks in advanced,
TD
