Thanks

The article should appear at the top post of every page. This issue was fixed in v1.2

My main question is what this does other can create an "article" section. I want to install but not until I know the exact functionality. Does this allow me to take stickies in forums and make them into articles? Or do I have to create a sub-form for every post I want to be an article?

Any clarification welcome.

It basically modifies the display of a forum and the threads in that forum. The forum list is replaced with this and the thread view is modified to look like this.

I have not tested in on vb v3.6 or vb3.7

Sub-forums are the categories for the articles to be posted in.

Creating an article is just posting a new thread in the article forum.

I disabled and the message did not pop up. (tried 5 times)

I re-enabled and it came back again.

It pops up EVERY time I open the article.

Edit: I'm using 3.7 and this is the ONLY bug I've ran into so far.

Did you get this error in previous versions of modification?

See if you have the hook location: showthread_query_postids

I don't remember this error before, but I was more worried about my other boards being unable to be used so I uninstalled very quickly...

And where would i look for that hook?

AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Add new plugin

look in Hook Location dropdown for the hook name.
