So if we have the default theme (all I did was edit mine) we will have problems?

Works great, only you forgot the Languages Phrases. But ok I can do that by my self (done that).... (there are more people in the world then English speaking people :squareeyed: )

And it goes wrong if you use the extra pages with vBadvanced CMPS like: adv_index.php?page=extra
Then the welcome panel must NOT be showing... Can you fix that??

Other problem is when I switch of the Welcome module of CMPS the avatar is gone, switch I the stats module off de newest member is also gone in the welcome panel :surprised: But I want thoose modules switch off because everything is now standing in the welcome panel!
Can you fix this??

And why this? I try both (with and without the <if> and no difference

PHP Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index'">
Welcome to our newest member, 
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$newuserid">$newusername</a>
<else />
<phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$newuserid" 2="$newusername">$vbphrase[welcome_to_our_newest_member_x]</phrase>
</if> 


But thanks for the great hack!

Great hack! Installed. I like the title design on the instructions file .

I have installed, but then uninstalled again. Reason: My users' avatars are too big, and thus the block creates a lot of empty space that is unused....

I was wondering how to get more statistics in the panel, I trying to get the number of Arcade games in there but don't now how? Is there a way to create a second colum for other stats?
