Works just fine for me.

Yeah, but unless you have updated your site, you are showing that you are using RC3. It's not working under GOLD--At least not for me. It gives me an error when I re-visit the post (the first time I visit the post, it's fine, but the 2nd time, it's not)

[microzott]

installed on Vb 3.5.0 Gold with no problems, but i still have VB3.0.9 on line...
the only change i would like to suggest is to includte the day and time of the last viewed (another hack for 3.0.X had it).
do you think is possible?

thanks

[.Tim]

Yes, I agree, the date and time would be great to have.
