Having to track down what exactly somebody is asking for, instead of them just outright saying it, isn't something I encourage. But, anyway....

So you just want a PM option when subscribing to categories and threads?

For the thumbnail links, if you're running vB 3.0.x try this hack from The Nail Geek -- It's a pretty cool hack that I think would make you happy. I'm really hoping that he upgrades it to be a plug-in for vB 3.5 (not sure if he's started working on this not). Brian tends to stay away from these types of hacks because one of the vBa philosophies is to not touch any vB code unless necessary. With the advent of plug-ins in 3.5, though, the world just got a lot larger.

The trick there is what type of page is the PHP being included on. To clarify, stuff like vBa Gallery, vBa Links, and vBa CMPS all use vB as it's back-end system so there is no need to duplicate the logic to make the database connections and to authenticate because it's already established via vB. Trying to make a generic PHP code would be a bit tricky because what happens if the page it's being inserted on is a non-vB based page? If the assumption is that the only pages that the code will be inserted on then a deviation of one of the CMPS random gallery modules might be able to used as the base for some code. A lot more details would have be narrowed down first though such as what information exactly would be wanted to be displayed, what type of options would be wanted, etcetera.

Gotcha'.... but in that scenario what would be the purpose then of creating the child categories? Not saying it's a good idea or a bad idea, I'm just not seeing the 'big picture' yet as to what it would achieve.
