Thanks for the donation and for letting me use your site to test.
I figured out that vB doesn't like me using a couple floating div's there for some reason so I had to resort to tables. I got it working and looking good on your site. I rolled it back though so you wouldn't have to deal with reverting the template and all if I release another one and you need to update.

Let me know if anything is still off.

betts, I'll work on getting the display groups in there and release that soon.

Donations are a MUST to ensure that Mod authors have a reason to keep putting in the HOURS it takes to get these mods to run.

I donate to show my appreciation as well as hoping to ensure future updates to mods, that make the Vb experience a more robust one, are still available during subsequent core software updates..

Shame on those that download and use a mod and never even so much as say "thanks" for the hard work. And a POX on those that download and then +++++ and moan about a mod that they are unwilling to support financially.

Time IS Money.

Also... works great now, Thanks !

I'm not seeing the mod auto update. The same user has been displayed for over 24 hours, and only changes to the next user if I hit save in the mod cp settings.

How often does this update?

There is a scheduled task setup to run at midnight every night. Trying running the schedule task from the ACP and see if it changes.

Lovely mod..

Permission are not working right.. users can see the Most Active In (forum) and as an Admin I might be active in private forums.. I know they can't get there when clicking it.. but not nice to even see the private forum.

Also I just found out when I disabled it from Options.. It didn't get disabled .. I had to disable it from Products settings page

Were you logged in as a test user or yourself when you looked at it? It shows the user who is viewing whatever forums they are allowed to view.

I'll check the disable function.
