Got the same uncached template error here but nobody else seems to have it.

[Lionel]

it's there, you need to cache it

[Lionel]

This is not the proper way to cache templates, but I am too lazy to do the plugin, so in vbtrade.php I did in red

$globaltemplates = array('vbtrade_main','forumdisplay_sortarrow');

This is amazing. Thanks so much lionel. Hope to have the proper fix in the next release.

I have added the portfolio value in postbit. It will only get update once a day when the cron job is run. Anyone is doing this more frequently ?

[Lionel]

You're welcome. If zethon incorporates it, then you good, won't have to do it every update.

vbtrade.php opens only a search option 'Get Stock Quote' without displaying stocks. Only after a search they show the result. Is this how it works or do we have to change something to have an overlook of available stocks?
