Actually let me ask this instead, is there a better way to show the "Add post/thread to favorites" link? Cause right now its running onto another line causing a whole nother span to show up which is very annoying.

Strike that, I just changed the phrase and it worked perfectly

Hack updated with the new options.
Reinstall the XML, re-upload vbfavorites.php and redo template changes.

nice Dark Visor

I'm gona use this as a possible paid feature on my forums.

my suggestions for you to consider

limit the amount of fav threads/posts/users per usergroup also set which users can have fav threads/posts and users.

great hack, will be installing.

[akanevsky]

Thanks for the suggestions, but they will NOT be implemented.

Ermmm Sniper imho you should find something else for paying users...
I would never pay to have that feature... It's something you should offer to all I think...

[-=Sniper=-]

its just a idea really, I know I can do it myself.

for paying users its hard to give them that something extra so normal members can have fav posts, while paid members can have posts and thread. I don't like the fav users idea...oh and if you have suggestions please PM them so we don't hijack the thread.

I think there is no use in limiting this by any way to paid users.
Features that I think would appeal more to paying users are:
-email@yourdomain.com
-free space (perhaps for their own little homepage, or even in the gallery, it depends on the site)
-blog hosting
-of course the approptiate user title so they can show off
-A list of honoured members so they can show off and brag about it (was brag the spelled correctly? :nervous: )
-access to private forums
-access to more games if you have arcade etc
