umm..this is already a mod for vB 3 I believe Danny, exact same one....maybe you made it lol I dont know, I just know that there is.

EDIT: I am sorry, I just looked at screenshots and everything, sorry about that danny..good work...really good work.

/me installs

lol. That's okay, they're very similiar with almost the exact same name.

I've attached two versions of the hack. One version has permissions, so you can let certain usergroups have the feature, and not let others. This versions has 2 more file edits, and a required query to be run.

The other version doesn't have permissions and has two less file edits, and no queries.

I attached both versions because I don't see a high demand for permissions on such a simple hack. The choice is yours.

Yes, if you would like too. I have tested both versions numerous times, and they both work for me. Posting the error will help me find out if something is wrong with the qah_install.txt file for the version without the permissions.
