End-User Options - Lucky Thread

Lucky Thread

This hack redirects the user to a various thread when they click "Lucky" button on the navbar. This is like Google's lucky button. Let's see what is your lucky subject.

does not work for me on 3.7.b3.
product installed, navbar changed - no problems at all. but when i click on lucky thread in my navbar then all is see are my smilies. changed location for lucky thread in navbar - still the same. my other members can confirm it.
in acp i disallowed some forums and afterwards all usergroups were unselected. tried to select _ without luck. when i click on save i see unselected usergroups again. very strange.
product disabled.

Same issue. Worked right once, then stuck on smilies

[binevi]

i got same problem too. If it works properly that would be great hack

[halkum]

this needs to be fixed or scrapped.

It works for me. I've called it 'Lucky Dip". Thanks for the mod.

This is not working for me on 3.7.1

I imported the xml, did manual template edits. For one thing, nothing shows up in navbar. Second, the vboptions > luck thread area does not save my settings. I check the admin, mod, super mod and member usergroup. Click save. It refreshes, then nothing is checked.

Also, the plugin is enabled/active. On top of that, if I manually add the link on forumhome side column, it shows up. However, clicking the link takes me to the smiley list page instead. VBSEO conflict?

thanks..

[Chadi]

I can confirm vbseo is not causing this as the link still redirects to smiley list page when vbseo is disabled.

Anyone else have this problem?
