Support
This modification is released for free and as such we don't officially support it, but as time permits we will try to offer support on it. You are more likely to get a response over at our site as we wont be checking this thread frequently.
We are still using this on our sites without issues if you are having problems make sure you still have them on the default style and if so please let us know as it seems most problems people have been having are from custom styles. Things may be conflicting with another addon that we don't currently use on any of our sites, which if that's the case I will see what I can do to work around that.
Sorry for the very late reply to people we have been swamped with stuff and really didn't have time to support a free addon that still works flawlessly on all of our heavily modified vBulletin sites.

What about marking it as re-useable so someone can take it over??

The leaderboard isn't accessible on 4.2.2. Can you at least provide the landing page url for the leaderboard (it doesn't require any work, just the information) so that those of us who want to add it manually can do so?
A great mod, and I am already liking its use very much, and am thankful for developers like yourselves taking out time and effort, to provide us with such free modifications and add-ons.
With due respect, there is a small bug fix that would be nice (which should be a stroll in the park for coders like you). The issue is in the postbit, when this mod is used with Abe1's Post Thank You Hack. So what happens is that the time online is displayed along with the X Thanks in X Posts line which makes reading confusing. If this is not clear, I have posted an image. You could have a look. Thanks again for your time.
For the time being, I have disabled showing the Thank You, but I would really love to have this working.
