I gave that a try and still having the same problem. Would you like to take a look at it? My members really like the feature!

I can't get this to work. I've installed it and made sure the that it's turned on. Is something else required? I'm on version 3.6.8.

fwmike · #**236** 04-03-2008, 08:10 PM

Nevermind, I've figured out my problem. I had the auto location set to 'no'.

Thanks, this is a very nice mod!

No. This will only work on the forumhome template.
