I know there's been updates to this Mod since the summer but am sort of unsure about exactly which features have been added and which ones are on the way. Back in the summer I had asked if a couple of features were going to make their way into this Mod :

Any chance of getting a couple options in a future release?

1. Option to allow only Threads started by specified usergroups to go in the slider?

2. Option to allow Threads with specified "Pre-Fixes" to go in the slider (so if someone has a heavy use or Prefixes they could choose to only have something like "news" go in there.

3. Option to have the vbSlider on Specified Forums. (Different forums have different topics so instead of something that was more "global" this would allow for you to choose which content is see specifically in that forum's slider.

Just curious.

Thanks!

Try re-downloading the Lite version from DBTech - I may have resolved this in a hotfix.

Any update mate ?

[DragonByte Tech]

Did you try re-downloading the Lite version from DBTech as I suggested? If you told me that that also had issues, I missed that post, sorry.

Let me know


Fillip

[betts02]

Is there any chance of having this NOT show threads AFTER the thread date ?

So as soon as the thread date has passed, It does not show the thread in the slider ?

Even if this is a Pro feature i would buy it, Cheers

Many thanks and i just did a repair cache and that fixed the issue of it posting from other forums

[DragonByte Tech]

Unfortunately that's not an option at this time

If you'd like this implemented, could you please post it as a Feature Request in our support forum here: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/forumdisplay.php?f=126 so that it gets recorded into our system?

Thanks


Fillip

[betts02]

Will do mate cheers and can you tell me if this could work in the forumblock ? cheers
