Hey Chops, its been about 3 days and the ventrilo info has yet to show up. Any ideas on whats up with that?

It had to do with the fact that in your layout file, you had it defined as <!--System:Menu:Ventrilo-->, but the name of the Ventrilo Status menu category was "Ventrilo Status". I just changed the name of the category in Menu Administration, and now it's showing.
