Ok, With the newest version I lost the usernames on all posts site wide, and the inline attachments are still showing as links. I tried reverting my custom postbit code, disabling all products, etc. No change. I must be doing something wrong, LOL

Loving this mod. Few suggestions though....

I think the way blogs and their comments are laid out works a lot better for articles than showthread does.

IE: blog comments look more like comments than replies to the thread and also have titles such as comments rather than reply etc.

I'd also like to have the Article Tools beneath the title somehow.

I'd also like to be able to hide the box with the users avatar, name etc.

I'll look into this

articles

> category 2

and so on

Alternative Display for articles.php (selectable in article options) is structured like that

I inserted the style number "22" but it did not work. Was I supposed to insert something else?

is there a way to display "newest posts" from this on a non-vb page? (ie: like a php page)

That got everything to work except disabling in certain styles. Was I correct in typing in just the number, "22"?
