Because you rock! I'm planning on installing tonight.

I persuaded my fellow admin (hehe) so now I'll wait till those database errors get sorted out

#28 10-20-2005, 09:19 PM

suggestion: make a choice to deactivate the navbar block... actually it is adding 3 queries on all pages browsed on the forum - amazingly!

or would be good to have something like a cache stored in the users table so there is no need to reload a query to display the links in the navbar...

akanevsky · #29 10-20-2005, 09:33 PM

A cache is a good idea - and sound like it can be done easily. I'll think about it

jesus likes pie · #30 10-20-2005, 10:57 PM

awesome. Is there a plan on making it a product/plugin?

akanevsky · #31 10-20-2005, 11:02 PM

A fixed version uploaded.
To upgrade:

- Overwrite the product XML
- Replace vbfavorites.php with the new file

The cache, however, will have to wait.
