That's odd. The file I installed earlier is the same as the one I downloaded just now from this thread. I uninstalled and reinstalled a new download, but the Welcome Header Messages option is still 'Enable Lurker Message' with text 'Do you wish to display a message to lurker visitors?'. Even though, as you say, vbwelcome_headers_3_6.xml does not contain this text. And the actual phrase setting_wlhguest_desc seems to be correct, using 'Guest' instead of 'Lurker'; the Options page seems to be the only thing different than it should be.

This must be because the forum used to contain an older version of this plugin. However all older plugins were uninstalled, and I was re-installing them. Also I checked 'Allow Overwrite' when reinstalling. So why is the old phrase being used for the options panel? Very confusing :confused:

You've got me.... I don't have all the old versions on this machine but I can't recall ever changing the phrase although it's very possible. Try an uninstall/ install maybe?

Thanks Ted. It's very helpful.

Works on 3.6.9 without any problem
Thanks

thanks ted s for the modification

whenever i try to use the "copy thread" feature, i get a blank white page with this hack enabled, by itself. i know this mod is not supported. still, any advisement? if not, thanks anyway

This add-on just displays an HTML message and does not add anything that would impact your moderation tools.

^ exactly, thanks ted s

i'm going to keep this mod, regardless of the blank page issue. it's far more useful than the copy thread feature, for me, anyway.

thanks for your response.

Again, that issue has no relation to this addon unless you have further modified it yourself. I suggest you check your other addons and/or templates to figure out what is broken and causing your javascript functions or forms to mis-fire.

okay, i agree with you. will continue to troubleshoot this with my focus on other possibilities. thanks ted.

hi i just installed this mod and think its great, but the only problem i have is the "join the community now" link is broken it redirects to mysitename.com/register.php when my registration link is mysitename.com/forum/register.php how do i go about changing this so it locates to the right area with the rest of my site?

probally a dumb question but im new to vb
