Installed this, but it seems to only be showing the same member no matter how many times I refresh the screen. Does this change on a daily basis?

Lost at the bottom of the forum doesn't seem like such a "spotlight" to me...

You can also have it up at the top above the forums.

It would be nice to have the ability to enter how often it changes.

I would like to make it a spotlight for the week for example, so it would change once a week rather than every day.

I was actually thinking about adding that

I'm going to add an option to run the new user selection hourly/daily/weekly

I wouldn't mind to have something like this in my sidebar. What would I need to do for this?

DragonByte Tech · #20 12-20-2010, 05:35 AM

I fixed a problem with some forums scheduled task on vB3. I also added the ability to specify the usergroups that can view the spotlight and if it will run hourly, daily or weekly.

Awesome!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
