is there a way to use this and have the "favourites" button correspond to individual threads?

for example, let's say there's a great thread... can you click on favourite sand add that particular URL and also reference that URL in the favorites folder?

Nice one. It installed easily and works fine in IE 6.0 on a PC.

However it add to favourites OK in Firefox 1.5.0.6 but when you cl;ick on it in the bookmarks list it opens in a split windw on the left of screen as if we opened the whole bookmarks bar in the left column of the screen. It does not do this for other links in my list so I am wondering if this is a code issue?

The hack works on my forum root, but not on my forum subdirectory:

http://www.politicsforumpoliticalworld.com/forum/

I have the link in the navbar under "Click here to BOOKMARK this Site"


I uploaded the vbulletin_global.js file to the client script folder in my forum root and my forum folder. What else can I do to make this work on all locations on my site?

Thanks

um... I think it would be nice if YAWL posted the issues so that the modification author can at least have a clue as to how to fix :)

Anyway - seems like a nice modification - Because of the file edit - I'll just wait till it works perfectly though...

Thanx for the share.
