Not dead. Just stagnant. I've put this project up on Google Code to help manage bugs and feature requests. If you encounter a bug please enter an issues in the Google Code Issue tracker: http://code.google.com/p/vbnetwork/

I have a messageboard interested in networking with my board which will help in the development of the plugin. I hope to make updates to it soon and take it out of beta and have vb 4.0 support.

If you use a word censor the posts on your forum will get censored and posts sent to other forums will also be censored... Uncensored forums will see uncensored words in their own posts but still see the **** in posts from censored forums- basically the way it should work.

You can ban users from another site in the network options.

When i run the task i get this msg: unable to create incoming packet file

When i do a local test in the dir network i succeed in creating a file with fopen.

Any idea?

Sounds like the plugin cannot write to the packets directories. Make sure that /network/packets/outgoing and /network/packets/incoming both have write access. Do chmod 777 on both, as instructed in the docs.

Hi, i read on the 4.0 version of this plugin that you found a way to show avartars with the usernames.

Is this fix also availbale for the 3.8 version?

you should be able to get the avatars working by going to Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager and enable the the "vbNetwork: Add network avs and stuff if it's a network user and forum." I am not sure why it is disabled by default

I run a 3.8.x forum and I have a friend who runs a 4.0.x forum. I am moving my database on his server. We want to share one section of the forum across both sites. Is this possible?

If it is, I'm guessing he would have to install the 4.x version of this mod and I install this one?

I'm having trouble viewing newly added forums on the actual site. I can add them and view them in the ACP with no problems but I can't see them on the actual index page.

Nice Mod, Thanks!!

Can i use this mod to show share certain forums between a vb4 and a vb3.8 board?
