Why is the mod not working for me??????????????????

That's a Pro-only feature :)

Instance Management :)

That's a Pro-only feature :)

Asking the same question multiple times is not likely to get it answered quicker :)


To put vBShout in a custom location, do the following:


Step 1: AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout-> Instance Management -> [Edit].

Step 2: Change the Auto-Display Shoutbox setting to Disabled.

Step 3: Write down the the Varname setting. For the default shoutbox, it's instance1. The rest of this guide will assume you replace instance1 with the actual Varname if it is different.

Step 4: Enter the Style Manager and add either {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1} (vB4) or {$show[vbshout_instance1]} (vB3) to the templates you wish the shoutbox to appear in.


Follow these steps as described and you will have total control over the position of the Shoutbox.
Please note that some locations may not work as intended on vBulletin 3.8, and also note that it is not designed to go in the Forum Blocks side-bar (vBulletin 4).

Why am I unable to find the place in Forum Manager to set the new threads/replies to show as messages in the shoutbox?

I can't find it anywhere..

That wording is defunct and has been removed from the latest version, the "Notifications" menu under the vBShout group is all you need.

The Notifications menu shows up completely blank when I click it

Sounds like you may be coming from an earlier version and may have forgotten to follow the instructions in the upgrade instructions txt file. Could you please check that you followed all the steps there?

Oops - forgot to perform the steps in the latest upgrade notes txt file - thanks very much.

Is 5.4.4 available in Pro version as yet? I just looked on the website and it says the latest is 5.3.2 which is broken on vB 4.1.4. Thanks.

Yeah it is, the version info in the description is outdated. All Lite versions have a corresponding Pro versions :)

Sorry, I meant to put 5.4.4 PL2 Pro, rather than just 5.4.4. I ask as another admin I know bought and installed 5.4.4 Pro but it was broken on vB 4.1.4 and looked like my screen shot above with the icons going down vertically. I presume there is a PL2 Pro?

Sometimes jumping on the latest vB releases isn't a good thing, but the CKEditor is a welcome addition!
