Support
[hr]-[/hr]I use my released mods daily, if I find an issue with them or add features for myself I will release updates. If there are significant bugs or simple feature requests I will do my best to release fixes. Some of my mods rely on fetching data from 3rd party websites, due to the unreliable results, my mods will require users to troubleshoot for themselves if they find the addon is not working for them specifically. I am offering my personal mods that work ok for me for you to use, I am sorry I do not have time to troubleshoot many user specific issues. Thank you for your understanding.

It updates the users once over the course of the day. There are many boards using this mod, if everyone had them updating too quickly it would cause more stress on xbox.com risking getting the mod blocked for everyone.

Would there be any possibility behind this causing users to not stay logged in at random points, or possibly creating a cookie issue?

No, I have never heard of such an issue. There is nothing that interacts with cookies or sessions with this mod.

[stickskills]

I wasn't accusing haha, just wanted to be sure. I've had one of the worst issues with cookies/login issues that come from the spur of the moment, no real way to tell what's causing it. Even talked with vBulletin & my host, and neither could figure it out.

If you want an example of the thing in action, you can use mine, as I seem to have a lot more than most boards that use this mod (last time I looked it was about 180). I also don't show zeroes.

What's the biggest list you know of using this mod?

This is the largest one I know of is http://www.thexug.com/forums/gxboxlive.php with 11,000+ listed, which is greatly more than I ever expected it to be used for especially for the inefficient nature of the mod.

I was going to say that too, good notice.

I recently upgraded this software and now it has completely disappeared from my quick links area and when I try to manually view the .php page it just says

Invalid field id specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator
