I just installed this mod on VB version 4.1.8, but the Stream and Status does not update.

If I enter something in Status on top, it still says "user has no status", and nothing happens in the Live Stream even if someone is posting threads/posts.

Do I have to upgrade to 4.1.10 to have this mod working?

The streams for threads/posts are currently Pro only but these probably will be moved to Lite in a future Beta version.

As for the status issue, could you PM me a link and test account for your site so I can investigate?

Hope this helps!

Not at the moment. I'll see if I can add a method of manually moving the location for a future version!

Interesting concept and I like it. I've tagged it to keep an eye on it as you go through Beta.

Nice work.

Thanks for your help. The mod is now working, but experiencing a small problem with UTF-8 characters.

When using a utf-8 character in status box it shows correctly in the postbit, but when refreshing a page, the utf-8 character in the postbit turns into a strange symbol.

• Front and back-end operation.
• Compatibility over time.
• Support from author.
• Paid/free.

Of course you prefer the other one, this one here is still in beta for crying out loud. Does the DBTech one even show new threads/posts?

Others already basically told you off but I want to do the same, appreciate the mod!

Great mod man, glad to see you offering some differences and the more the merrier!
