We all parked on a thread and I turned this on and the display changed from all three of us to just me. Their view was similar.

Will this be fixed? (is this even seen as a bug?)

I hope this is fixed too - I really like this mod's potential when its numbers don't confuse my members. Also, I don't know if it's even possible, but it would also be nice if the display area for the info was a fixed width. With the AJAX update, changes from 1 to 2 digits etc. can make the toolbar "wiggly" and distracting.

I realize you don't want to just apportion giants swaths of real estate to this, but perhaps consider showing new posts and new thread counts of 100 or more as ">99"? Just a thought.

Just wanted to say thanks for this mod. It's very simple but hugely effective!

:-) Nice work fella!

Hello

I install the plugin, but when active vbsupercharged no view the number of new messages.

Thanks

[JonnyThunder]

There may be a wee bit of a bug. If you go to post a message and click Preview, my forum comes up with an error just under where the new posts indicator should be. However, this appears to be an intermittent fault - it doesn't always show.

Still love the mod regardless! Nice work.

Any word on whether a fix is possible for this mod's post counts?

Conflicts with vB4 Supercharged. Turning off the javascript compressor seems to do the job.

Valter:

Not sure why but this mod seriously bogs down my admincp as well as certain sections of my forum that all members have access to. I have no idea why, but it has been going on for a few weeks. I finally found this mod to be the issue today and once I disabled, things picked up.

Any idea why this mod would do it, and any idea on how to stop it?

[Bram H]

Saw this way too late (as usual ). Thanks Valter, another great mod!
