Great Hack, but one thing. Is it possible to make it, that the hack shows me also only new threads ?

I desperatly need to change the font color of the links in the Navbar.
I tried the tricks you gave me for the 3.5.4 version, in Phrases.
My changes won't stick.

Awesome, just what I like. Thanks for making this public.

edit: I just noticed that the numbers are gone when viewing the forum from my vbadvanced index. Got any ideas on how to fix that?

I like the idea of this hack, but it doesn't work with the template I've got installed. The navbar has been moved into the header template, which is fair enough, I was able to find the required code and change it, but upon doing it, the table got all screwed up (and the text was a diffrent colour).

any chance of putting this into the member block rather then the navbar; similar to PaulM's hack here?

Yes, use Paul's hack.

[SCRIPT3R]

well, they're way different - guess i'll write my own merging both of yours.

Hi, i'm trying to install this on vB 3.6.1 and when i try to import it as a product it says that it is a plugin and that i should use the plugin manager to upload. So i went to Upload/download plugin, uploaded it, and nothing happened.

Thank you! It is a long-awaiting hack for me!
One question - I have a big space between the "New Posts In" item and the next item. How could I reduce this space? Thank you.
