Yeah I know that now, however seems there is no favourites showing up in the User CP and the link in the Navbar isn't showing up.... I have rebuilt the style(s) and no avail. Any other ideas?

Any idea why would it still show something if the condition was false?

That is how it is designed. First, add some favorites. Then, the things you listed will show up.

Thanks man, nothing showed up at all, I have all the code in the User CP area as your instructions, I'm try this on another forums with a FRESH install to see if there is another hack barring this from working. Should I send you a copy of my User CP style via PM so you can take a look?

It will never be. This hack works on a default vBulletin installation, and if you run into any problems, that's due to something being wrong with your particular board.

No meaning I uninstalled from my forums man. I was seeing if you wouldn't mind assisting to see if there is a conflict of another hack in there, not here to argue with you and your coding, I basically just wanted to see if you would "assist", guess I cannot blame you for not assisting others in the freebies, thanks anyhow!

No, I only said that I don't want to see "a copy of your usercp style" - it wouldn't help. If, on the other hand, you sent me admincp details after installing the hack - then I could look at it.

What am I supposed to see in the user control panel? I see no links regarding favorites nor the favorited thread I just added. Also, where do I manually add the link inside quick links menu? Not sure what template/code to add it after.
