What will completely make this mode even more amazing is the ability to reply to threads/posts, maybe a small button which opens a small pop up for the member to post a quick reply, without having to click on the link

That will be amazing! I will love you if you could add that.

If it was like dp's vbspy and updated itself every x minutes where x is the cache setting it would even better.

Another top class release Phalynx ty!

This is awesome! Thank you.

Is it possible to include support for Dragonbyte Tech's achievement and award streams?

Thanks!

How about putting this on but as a php page rather than just a widget? I don't care about the preview just want an activity page.

This is actually what "What's New" was supposed to return imo.

This totally crashed my server. Sent the mysql and ram loads through the roof and forced us to restart apache and mysql. Didn't recover until I uninstalled it.
