Change: XFRM and XFMG blocks are now hidden when the add-on is disabled or the viewer cannot view its content
Fix: The "Text" prefix display style now shows thread and resource prefixes as plain text instead of hiding them
Fix: A cut-off period of 0 now includes content of any age instead of showing nothing; Hottest threads requires at least 1 day
Fix: Hottest threads no longer shows closed threads when a forum filter is set and closed threads are excluded
Fix: The maximum entries setting now requires at least 1 and blocks set to 0 are treated as disabled; existing blocks set to 0 are deactivated and reset to 5 during upgrade

This add-on has been hotfixed to address an issue affecting all front-end pages while this add-on is enabled. This issue was caused by additional security measures introduced in XenForo 2.3.13.

The latest version has been patched, and can be downloaded at no additional cost. If you are running an older version and you are unable to upgrade for whatever reason, please let me know the exact version you are running and I will apply the hotfix accordingly.

Update highlights​

This version adds a feature requested by the community; the ability to exclude certain user groups from the "Top Poster" statistic on the Welcome Panel. If you have idle, long-term users you would like to exclude, assign them to a secondary user group and select it in the new setting.

Complete Change Log​

Feature: Exclude user groups from "Top Poster" statistic on the Welcome Panel

Update highlights​

This version improves compatibility with future versions of XenForo by moving certain code calls out of templates.

There are no changes to functionality, but the update is recommended to avoid compatibility issues with the upcoming XenForo v2.3.8 & newer.

Complete Change Log​

Change: Move database query calls from templates to PHP files

Update highlights​

This version adds an option to disable the "Most active forum" line in the Welcome Panel. That feature can have significantly detrimental effects on performance for large forums (100k+ posts), especially for active posters.
