Installed and nominated. Excellent mod!

I have one suggestion: there should be an option to see other peoples favorites.

This could be on a user profile, so users find out great topics by browsing other user's favorite lists! (this should be optional, of course)

Please implement

Installed .Thanks

[Saviour]

I'm not really sure I'm understanding the purpose of this mod...

What's the difference between this mod and the vBulletin default subscriptions and buddy list?

[dutchbb]

It's not possible to enable this only for a specific usergroup?

[final kaoss]

I've been looking through all of the features and why is there no "favorite forums"?

[ishare]

Installed and nominated. Excellent mod!

Is it possible to show the complete favorite threads and posts in another page instead of the User CP ? (such as http://www.site_name.com/vbfavorites.php)

[Dutch_Boy]

Nevermind problem fixed.

[jGas]

GREAT! this is something my users are looking for! Will you release it for vb4?

thanks

[MarceloS]

One of my favorite mods. Hoping it gets released for vb4 too. Will donate.

Suggestion: Add some code to template_groups to say

$only = array_merge($only, array('vbfavorites' => 'vBFavorites'));

to trim down the entries in the template selection display.

Thanks and thanks.
