The core is formed by the public timeline.

If activated on your forum it includes automated image verification and flood control.

SPECIAL

Hey STONYARC - very nice modification - just saw it on TheBlackPoet's Forum!
Suggestions: Possibly add some ajax features to the system so that it's just one page load? Don't know how difficult of simple that'd be - but would be nice to have ajax... ALSO possibly a way to count twitter posts in the overall Forum post-count? Anyway - just a thought...

Gonna try install! Thanx for the sharing

Jacquii.

Installation was a breeze but I am curious if you might consider adding a twist. If users could text message their quick posts to the twitter add-on then there might be more excitement.

Is that even possible? I know there are email add-on ons for WordPress, etc but not sure if something exists for vB.

Here is the install: http://www.whatisnew.com/vbnow.php

Installed it. was working fine, until I get this msg.

The flood protection interupted your post. Please wait a few minutes before posting a new entry.

Flood protection, I set: 15mins

But I posted my last msg almost 3hrs ago. now i cant post any msg. when ever i try to post msg, Im getting that msg :S

Hi STONYARC - also wondering... Is there a way that after posting a message the page redirects to the main vbnow.php?

Thanx,

Jacquii.

[PoetJA-1975]

Hello?!?

Anyway - another suggestion: Make it so that the top "tweeters" is shown in a list with number of "tweets" -- Maybe perhaps the list can be shown on all pages right beneath the Menu...

ALSO - is there anyway to get smilies parsed? And how do I make it so that after each post - it redirects to the main page?

Thanx AND looking forward to a reply

Jacquii.

I love this hack, but after I installed and configured it on vBulletin 3.6.8, going to vbnow.php returned a database error saying that the table did not exist. Help!

[ComeToSin]

I was just wondering, I just installed the plugin but i don't know how to get (avatar's) to show
