I have vbAdvanced installed too.

I've added this hack and it works well on the /forum pages. But on the portal page, it doesn't show and the space between navbar and header is gone. Any ideas how to edit which vbadvanced templates to fix this?

What Template would I edit if I want it to show in the what is going on box at the bottom of it below how many threads and posts?

Ok I fixed it myself. A break has to be inserted on the vbadvanced and arcade templates, since we have deleted the break from the main navbar in this hack. The counter doesn't work when I insert that code on the portal page, I'll do with the break.

Had no effect when I installed it on my site.

I installed the .xml, configured per the AdminCP page.

Loaded up my main page, tried all three of the styles I use.

No change in any of them. I uninstalled until this gets a little more attention, etc.

I have had this hack installed for well over 6 months now and it works great, was wondering if "years" can be added to the time format, my forum is now up to 439 days.

If it is just a case of modding the xml file, could you tell me how??

Cheers for the great mod !!!

Can anyone tell me how to do the above ??
