Installed without too much trouble. Instructions were very well put together and easy to follow. Took my time and made sure I did not miss any steps and it worked first time. Did have two problems already posted on this thread that I had to resolve (post id 48 and 103). Overall the install went very well. Thank you for the great hack and I happily "Clicked Install".

Now with everything up and running all I need is a little help in what I need to do to get vbFavorites to display on the memberinfo page. Where I am a novice at this, not sure what needs to be added to get the fields to display. Any help and/or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Scott Halliday

Display on memberinfo will be a part of interactive profiles.

[SHalliday]

Excellent Hack.
I have a couple questions re: the navbar. The Favorites menu works perfectly when in the forums as it was obviously designed. I'm also a vbadvanced user, when in here, the navbar menu shows up but doesn't actually list the favorite items - any ideas? Also, when in UserCP, the navbar menu just doesn;t turn up. I assume this is by design as the favorites are listed in the usercp anyway - it does re-appear when I go into other usercp functions.

Help with the vbadvanced issue would be appreciated, otherwise its not a biggie -
/me clicks install

Thanks
