Thanks!.. Works Great... INSTALLED!!

Only thing is that I have sub-forums and the icons/options doesn't seem to work for sub-forums. I have tried it on IE and FF and both show no options/icons in them... only shows on the parent forum listing.

Make sure you have all the options switched ON in vboptions -> External data provider

The second template edit forumhome_forumbit_level1_post is for sub-forums only. It has to show, you can see it at my site.

Thank you! very nice idea

I added a mark forum read icon.

If you want to add a icon to mark the forum as readed, you can add this in the first edit:

Code:

<a href="?do=markread" rel="nofollow" onclick="return mark_forum_read($forum[forumid]);"><img src="images/misc/markread.png" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Mark the forum as readed" /></a>

you need a icon named markread.png in the same dimension.
