This hack is to be used by those who installed vBjournal. My users were complaining that every time they posted an entry they had to post "updated my journal come see it" on a forum thread so I did this little plugin to show new entries

WARNING: As of right now we have reason to believe this mod is not compatible with 3.6 vBulletin or higher. vBjournal itself has had some compatibilities with 3.6 so don't try this if you have version 3.6.x

1) Install vBjournal
and get it to work

4) Modify the FORUMHOME template:

4.1) Make a copy of your current FORUMHOME template and save it to "Save history"
