This is a simple hack adds extra options on the Search drop down list on the navbar which allows your members to search for their own posts and threads start by themselves.

Would it be possible to add 'view unanswered threads' like the 3.0 version?

No, but all you need to do is just install my Forum-wide Search For Unanswered Threads hack along with this and you have the lot

[odeezie]

Sweet. Thanks.

Good idea, installed.

When I try searching from my vBAdvanced home page I get the following:

Not Found

The requested URL /search.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

No way!
Great idea

I do not have vBAdvanced installed at the moment, but will try to answer this once I have the answer to the question I am about to ask.

Question: Do you have your vBA installed in the root and forums in a sub-directory? And if so, what sub-directory is it in?

Also you will need to click Mark as Installed to recieve further support.

Sorry about that; installed. My vBA index/home page resides outside the forums folder. Thanks.
