All we want is Avatar , and Username

BlueNinjaGo · #**114** 04-21-2009, 08:15 PM

Well, do you have any suggestions? Besides uninstall?

Do you think you'll have time/interest in getting it to work for 3.7? It's an awesome mod and seems like it's almost there!

TimberFloorAu · #**115** 04-21-2009, 08:19 PM

Wouldnt it be easier for you to upgrade to 3.8 mate ?

BlueNinjaGo · #**116** 04-21-2009, 08:27 PM

No, not really an option.

Hi, I would like to remove the navbar link, how can I accomplish that?

Thanks in advance.

Mihalis · #**118** 04-22-2009, 09:22 AM

A couple of suggestions for this wonderful mod...

- An Option to choose how many articles will be visible in the directory.

- An Option not to keep the article sticky in every comment page

Also I have encountered a problem with BBcodes if they are used in the beginning of an article. You see the actual code in the directory and not the BBcode result.

Thanx!

Please add a rating function/system, so that we can use this for reviews.

There is a function already installed... Same as rating a thread.

The standard thread rating function, is too basic for reviews. A rating function for multiple qualities would be needed.

Please see the ratings on softonic. On the right you'll see ratings on 5 qualities.
