What Does This Hack Do?[hr]hr[/hr]
This is an update to my 3.7.x version of this hack, with the addition of show additional links to view your threads or posts from a forum you are browsing (if you not in a forum, the links do not appear).

This is a simple hack that adds extra options on the Search drop down list on the navbar which allows your members to search for their own posts and threads start by themselves.

There are no file or template changes at all, and is fully phrased.

This was a request by odeezie in post #22 of this thread.

Nevermind. I'm such a dunce. It was there.

It would be better if it had a Heading Section so it wasn't mixed in with other stuff, so idiots like me wouldn't miss it. Something like "My Posts".

It has nothing to do with this hack then, as it is no longer installed. You problem lays elsewhere.

No ideas at all, as this hack has nothing to do with tag searches.

This is maybe a good idea but it kindof ends there. It messed my usergrous up real bad, taggs not showing and more. Not recomended. Be very carefoul about this one. Uninstalled.

What is the basis of this? This hack has been installed on more than 200 sites (on 3 different vBulletin versions, I use this on my sites too) that do not have a problem at all, this hack has nothing to do with tags, and if you had a problem, why have you never elaborated on exactly what the problem was? So, not knowing what the problem was, how could I have possibly have helped?

I'm using vietnamese language, then I can't see the phrase view all your post or view the threads. But when I change the language to English, it's show fine. Where can I edit that phrase?
