Looks like a very useful hack ..

One small error in the instructions :-

"------------------

[tnguy3n]

Oops, my bad. open usercp.php.

Clicked install ..

No problems installing on 3.0.6

thanks for pointing that out. To pre-cache these new templates, in usercp.php,

FIND:

PHP Code:

    'usercp_reputationbits' 

REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:

    'usercp_reputationbits',
    'usercp_lastthreads',
    'usercp_lastthreadsbit',
    'usercp_lastposts',
    'usercp_lastpostsbit'

thanks, guys. I tested this hack in 3.0.3 + 3.0.5 + 3.0.7, and I assume it would work with other versions of vb3 gold as well.
