installed and works great..
Any chance this might be able to be added as a side block at some stage?

Great Job!

I'll check the disable function.

Yeah I logged in as a user and I could see my Admin account in spotlight with private forum listed.. of course I couldn't go to it, but it is listed and that forum is not supposed to be known it exists by anyone other than few SMODs

Be good to see this as a forum block if that's at all possible....

I fixed this on the version I just released.

Can you check the forum permissions on this one as well? I tested it and it works fine on my dev board. I created a user and new group, set the group to not be able to see my spotlight users main forum and it didn't show it in the section. Not sure why it wouldn't do it for you.

I just installed 4.1.0 pl2 and it worked fine. Can you manually set it to a user you know has good info? It looks like it's not picking anyone and the field is empty?

I'll try and get this in the next one. Plan on doing the side bar option and different run time options for selecting a new user. Hourly/Daily/Weekly

Superb work as always thanks for the update!
