Please DO NOT conact me via AIM, ICQ, PM, or email about this hack. Post your question/problem here and I will try to help you.

Um, no offense, but you can do that just as well as me. Just change it in the template. Simple as that.

nice hack...works perfectly

tubedogg,

You need to add AND open!='10' to the select, because otherwise it counts moved threads (the redirect bit of it) as 2 threads

Done and updated (see the first post in this thread).

thanks, bira.

[kabresh]

thx for this nice hack, works great

However, I can't see any way around this without adding a "thread" column to the user table, similar to post, except counting threads. And that would take a more detailed hack. If anyone really wants to see this, I'll see what I can do. (I don't think it would be too hard, just more detailed.)

If you get bored, and you don't know what to do, you might consider this feature

At least I would love it..but hey who am I

This hack hasn't worked for me since I've upgraded to RC1. I have, of course, re-installed it. Now a number does show up, but it is real small. For me it is 0, and for others I have seen so far it is in the single-digit range as well.

hasn't worked for me since rc1 upgrade either.

Tubedogg? Any ideas?

[tubedogg]

The eval("\$birthday line has moved down to line 1164-65, so it would go below there. Assuming you've done that (you're both smart, I can't imagine that's the problem), I cannot figure out why it's acting like that.

I justed tested the query on my vGI database, which is the only one I have that's running RC1. It appears to be working correctly. So why that doesn't translate into working on a running board is beyond me...

If you mean, did I put the code in the right place because the line number changed, I'd have to say yes. I don't have anything to tell me what line numbers are, so I just search for the code that something is supposed to go after.
