Looks great! How do I install?
Installation is very simple. It involves uploading 1 Product XML and making 2 minor template edits. See the install.txt file inside the zip for full step-by-step instructions.
Important: Unfortunately, my leased vBulletin licence has now expired, and I won't be renewing it until September which means I will be unable to reply to this thread, or update this mod until then. I'm hopeful that the great vBulletin.org community will step in to answer any questions in my absence though See you all in early September!

Very awesome hack. Top of my list to add. What draw me to this hack is my interest in allowing users to subscribe to Forums. In that way, whenever a new post OR and new Thread is created, they are notified.
For example, we have an "Ask a Professional" Forum. When a user posts a question in that forum, an email would be sent to any participating healthcare professionals. Before I upgraded to 3.6 beta 3, I created a hack that would automatically send an instant message to everyone in a particular usergroup, ie, healthcare pros. Some members of this group were not interested in participating and thus were being spammed with messages. So I have in mind a hack that would appear above/at every forum that would allow users to subscribe, kinda like RSS but via instant email updates.

I am doing the same thing, though my forum has a few custom things about it. We are adding a column in the forumhome that shows their current subscription level, including "No email" that they can click on to subscribe or unsubscribe to that forum. We also have a hack to allow subscribing for individual emails at the forum level. I have been warned that the server may not be able to handle this, but with 2,200 members and only a small percentage of them sign up for individual emails by forum, it hasn't been a problem (while being on a shared server). I am afraid that we can't take the time now to package this for public use, nor support it, but I fine with putting out the code in a "as is" condition if you are interested. Should be ready in a week.
Just checking in. I just completed my implementation of vBSEO. Awesomeness!
Anyway, I consider thread/forum subscription management a high priority. Sssooooo..... howz it coming? Progress?
Superb, like it very much thank you. And I'm quite happy with it as it is, I'd rather have people read the threads before subscribing anyway I think.
There isn't a chance of the AJAX being stored externally is there? It does quite horrible things to XHTML validation when it's run inline which in turn completely nixes any CSS validation at all. Come to that, the comment formatting means the comments don't get stripped but that really is being picky.
Not a big deal, just curious. Thanks again for your work!
Just a note in case anyone else runs into this: if you have disabled the "Check Thread Subscription" option (in the "Thread Display Options (showthread)" section of the Vbulletin options) you need to turn that back on before this will work. It had been disabled on our board because a previous Admin had disabled many of the options labelled "This can have an effect on performance" due to server problems with a former webhost. So make sure the "Check Thread Subscription" option is set to "Yes" before installing this.
