Done, thanks

Please all upgrade to v1.2 (import XML, allow overwrite).

I didn't tried it with other styles and I guess it will not work on some of them because authors removed references which this plugin uses. Sorry, this is impossible to make that work with all styles.

Excellent!

Can you give us some idea of why this doesn't work? I don't mind making changes to a template to support this, I just need to know where to look.

Thanks!

Is there any way to show a new post indicator on the forum homepage when new posts have been made?

This is not the right place to ask

Before installation:
-Go to AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Forum Listings Display Options > Depth of Sub-Forums - Set this to "1"

What happens to the rest of the sub-forums below 1 level? Are they being shown with this hack?
Thank you.

Works fine for me! INSTALLED
