Im not sure about that, but it runs fine on my large board and I have at least 6k concurrent users most of the time.

Have you measured the microseconds of php execution time before & after? I did 0.077 compared to 0.126
Honestly: Thanks for your post, if it runs fine with that much users online I'll give it a try.

Dear Sorky,

Will you upgrade this mod to vB 4. All other subforum managers miss your feature to enable it only on forums you would like to display the subforums!!

Keep up the good work!

Hello Sorky,

great hack, as far as I tested it works good.

But: Validate is awful, a lot of (X)HTML errors are thrown:
http://validator.w3.org/
Maybe you could have a look, Thanks

Strange - I have previously done just that and cleaned up anything I saw - maybe a variation in options shows up an issue - can you PM me a link to look at or email me the html produced (turn on the debug option)

Nothing like a practical test for confirmation!

NO SQL at all. Just extra php code to adjust the information provided - amount of code it executes depends on the options you choose. See above answer ;-)
