So far so good, the only thing I've ran into with the hacks are they are made to work with vb3.52 and we are at 3.5.

I don't really want to renew our VB license until the next big version of VB comes out. So will just have to wait on those hacks until then.

Two things I noticed.

The home page column width on the left side is unusualy wide.

Also our Admin rep is red, as if it were bad?

Just added a user info hack. It's not quite working yet, the longevity section doesnt' seem to be showing the right info.

New hack is kinda cool...but what does it all mean? If you scroll your mouse over "Longevity", it says for most people
User has been a member for 33f the boards existance
What is that supposed to mean? It also says the board was created in Dec. 1969, which might be why everybody's is low but Justins.

Also, what does the number represent under "Activity"?
