Thank you for the suggestion. I managed to have the thumbnail display as posting icon in forum itself, but still looking for the individual mod that can display thumbnail on front page with vBadvanced. Great mod here!

Hi.
I have installed this mod, all works fine, but I view that, when I go to Articles, the Title os my site its only "Articles".
For example, now, in this page, the title is:
"Article Forums - Page 60 - vBulletin.org Forum - Mozilla Firefox
But in my site, the title is:
"Articles - Mozilla Firefox"
Not appears the name of my site.

It's possible solved this or change some line for change this?

Thanks and regards!

Same problem here. I spent a few hours trying to figure out what happened to all of our inline attachments.

This does NOT fix the problem. This is a serious bug in this plugin and I had to uninstall it.

After first installing this, it caused our inline attachment images to go to links. I started getting complaints galore. After figuring it out, I disabled it and attachments came back as inline images.

I already had vBulletin Options -> Article forum Options -> Full Size Attachments -> No

I tried changing it to Yes... no help... and then back to No... still no help.

Again... this is a serious bug and people need to be warned who desire to have inline attachments.

Uninstalled until this bug is fixed... it is too serious!

Btw... You have a PM, but you can continue to ignore it. I hardly want a buggy plugin.

Navbar Link = No

Another thing I noticed about this mod is you cannot subscribe to a category to get notices when someone post a new article... unless I am missing something. I can subscribe via the Forum Manager since I am an admin... but regular members cannot subscribe.

Hey bananalive... can we get a fix for the attachment bug? I would be willing to donate if you do that that fixed. It's no good for anyone if it ain't fixed.
