Just taken a look at the code for this. Looks a lot more comprehensive than the vB2 version. Nice work.

Will install when my eyes aren't totally bloodshot.

[Boofo]

That's the best time to install. If you mess up, you don't really care then. LOL

Don't forget the install button when you install it.

[Toneboy]

Installed with fresh eyes.

Clicked install - tested, and all working great. Thanks.

I see you saying that on several places...
How do you see who installed what hack?
Or is it something only the orig hack poster can see?

If I tell you how I know, then I have to kill you!

Actually, the original hack author can see it only in his hack threads, but Mods here can see it everywhere.

I use it to gauge whether or not updates and additions to my hacks are warranted. If there are very few installs, usually it isn't worth the effort to add or update the hack with new features. It there are many installs, then it it worth the time and effort involved to update or add new features since the hack is being used by so many people.

It's also a nice way to thank someone who has taken the time to supply a hack and support it.

Great hack boofo, will click install I get it on my board.

Just to let you know,

Code in archive/index.php has changed in 3.0.1

In your .txt file you have,

PHP Code:

echo "\t<li><a href=\"t-$thread[threadid]\" d=\"$thread[lastpost]\">$thread[title]</a></li>\n"; 


Should be

PHP Code:

echo "\t<li><a href=\"t-$thread[threadid].html\" d=\"$thread[lastpost]\">$thread[title]</a></li>\n"; 


Also, code in archive/global.php has changed
Your .txt file has,

PHP Code:

echo "$indent<li><a href=\"f-$forumid\">$forum[title]</a></li>\n"; 


should be:

PHP Code:

echo "$indent<li><a href=\"f-$forumid.html\">$forum[title]</a></li>\n"; 


Also in the .txt file, you have,

PHP Code:

echo "$indent<li>$forum[title]</li>\n"; 


should be

PHP Code:

echo "$indent<li><strong>$forum[title]</strong></li>\n"; 


and you have,

PHP Code:

$navarray[] = "<a href=\"f-$forumid\">" . $forumcache["$forumid"]['title'] . "</a>"; 


should be

PHP Code:

$navarray[] = "<a href=\"f-$forumid.html\">" . $forumcache["$forumid"]['title'] . "</a>";

Advanced warning for people who install this: Remember to add [you] to the restricted username list...a user on my board registered [you] and lots of members got very confused very quickly

*clicks install*

[Sanity]

Run into problems with "functions_newpost.php" - [you]-code wont parse in message body. Iam running vB 3.02.

Great hack anyway.
