I had to turn it off as well. Load on the forum was unacceptable and we, too, use vBAdbvanvced.

I'm just sticking with v2.1 since it seems to work properly. I really wish an updated version was released that correct a lot of our issues, but if not I'm quite happy with 2.1 for now.

I went with Better New Posts and changed the "Today's Posts" link in the Quick Links navbar menu to "My Threads from Past Month".

I had my vb 3.03 like this until I upgraded to 3.8. My users actually preferred the ability to search from past visit, past day, past week, and past month so I went ahead and changed it.

What would be the BEST of both worlds for me would be Cyb's AJAX new posts with a dropdown menu like the "Better New Posts" I'm using now so my users can still do a quick search that way as well. *shrug* Oh well.

Sorry, there are no new threads to view.

You may search for threads updated during the previous 24 hours, here.
Is this right?

Nice hack cyb! I have installed it and wanted to contribute: I think it can be made better with a simple adjustment:

1- For users without javascript, it completely invalidates the "new posts" button (i.e. doesn't degrade gracefully), this can be solved by changing this part:
PHP Code:
href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="CAnp_getStats();" 
to this
PHP Code:
href="search.php?do=getnew" onclick="CAnp_getStats(); 
return false;" 
It will work exactly the same for users with javascript, but will degrade gracefully for those who don't have javascript. It will also be possible to open the link with the "open to new tab" option in firefox (i.e. middle mouse button)

2- The "checking.." text is a bit annoying since it changes the layout in the navbar and moves all the menus, there should be an option to disable/change it

Old versions did this to me, the latest didn't, but never displayed anything but 0's after that. Sorry I can't be of any help, just letting you know, you're not alone. heh
