For some reason it stopped working for me at all. I did work on the same version and server before, but not anymore. Is it possible something is blocking it?

Got this running fine on vb 3.8.5 with a custom style.

I added this line to my Navbar template in order to get it to show up as it wasn't showing up automatically:
PHP Code:
<td class="vbmenu_control">$cyb_anp</td
Then to get it working on vBAdvanced home page I added the following to the Portal Output Global Variables section in the Main Settings option under the vBa CMPS settings page.
PHP Code:
cyb_anp 
It's working perfectly. With no noticeable increase in server load....yet *touchwood*

if u have a database with a prefix, the query isn't working

current version :

SELECT COUNT(*) AS posts, post.threadid, thread.forumid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread ON (thread.threadid = post.threadid) WHERE post.visible = '1' $cybanp_exclforums AND post.dateline >= " . $db->escape_string($vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit']) . " GROUP BY post.threadid

correct version :

SELECT COUNT(*) AS posts, post.threadid, thread.forumid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post as post LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread ON (thread.threadid = post.threadid) WHERE post.visible = '1' $cybanp_exclforums AND post.dateline >= " . $db->escape_string($vbulletin->userinfo['lastvisit']) . " GROUP BY post.threadid

otherwise the result will always be 0
thanks for correcting this !
