How are you looking at your CPU stats? Do I ask my hosting service to give me that stats???

I have done some research and I want to first say that this is an outstanding modification but it is bringing my server to its knees.

I would like to know what is the proper way to uninstall this. Do I just delete the plugin? or is there some script that needs to be ran!!

Uninstall how to hotwheels

Can you help please

Two problems,

1) Hack won't show on the forumhome.

2) All of the sudden the vbpager thing is broken and everytime you try to open the pager thing it shows a dialog for downloading "pager.php"

I tried to re-install it but that's not doing anything.

I uninstalled this hack from one of two of my boards and possibly will remove from my other since it;s not productionyet.. great concept but needs work on not using so much processor. I only had my staff members test this for a few day and processor jumped from 1% to 4-6% crazy.. What the heck is this thing doing.... Once this all gets worked out I might take another look

this work in IE and MOZILLA ?

If I dont get this sorted soon, il un-install...

Anyone that says that their CPU usage goes through the roof needs to move server to a decent host

It's truly bad, taht there seems to be no support any longer on this great hack, my users love it.

Normally, the mentioned problem should be fixed quite easily if the Pop is registered for the IE (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912945/EN-US/) buit I don't know how.

Too bad....

Talk about bad timing. I uninstalled the hack a few weeks ago because of load problems. I JUST reinstalled the hack this past weekend to give it a second chance, only to find out about this new problem.

this is a great hack, but there is no sound in firefox. It works perfectly fine with IE (the sound plays), but no sound with firefox. btw everything else works perfect.

Installed but disabled a few days ago due to affecting page load times on a moderately busy forum.

Can someone help me out? The "im window" won't load on the front page.

I PMed the developer, still no response:(

i use FF and it says i need apple quicktime to get the sound working.. is there anyway to make it work with just the defaul ( WMP )

This is a really good hack just wish the author would get the bugs worked out I think making it a popup system instead of embedded in the page would help alot pop your pager msg up in a lil box instead of in the page and only open it once like the you have a new pm box does I think alot of problems comes from being embedded

The only problem with a popup system is in the ammount of users today that use pop-up blockers.

Check out LLP Messenger, it is a popup system and works very well.

now thats cool! nice job, installed well

Alright, this is a very weird problem I am having. I have installed Drupal Blog system, which can be found here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=97341

The problem I am having is, when i go to the blogs page, I can SEND a pager, but I can't receive them. I have to go back to the main forum then it receives them.

I made the SAME template changes to Drupal for Pager install, but as i said EVERYTHING works, except receiving a pager. It just doesn't refresh the page in that location (i.e. forums/drupal/)

Has anyone figured out why this hack sucks up processor utilization?

Try disabling the polling feature in your AdminCP or set the time to a higher value (like 30 seconds).

I am having some browsers crash when loading a page when they have messages available; so I have to remove it.

Most of it has to do with the way messages are deleted.

When you prune messages, or your members delete messages, it just deletes the message ID (not the entire message)

So when the hourly cleanup script runs, it shifts through every message, for every user, and see's if it has a message ID. If it doesn't, it deletes the message.

The longer you go without pruning, the harder this hourly check is on your CPU. I've had over 3,000,000 rows examined by the cleanup query, all because I had a few thousand pager messages either in the system or deleted. This happened with a 3000 member board with about 50 people online at a time. This will shut ANY cpu down until the query finally times out... I had it hit my server so hard one time that I had to call the datacenter to request a reboot.

The last version of this hacks includes an option to automaticly delete messages that have been read. If you enable this it helps with the load problems because the cleanup script is not trying to do too much after your big 'prunes'.

i set it to auto delete the messages, and i've got the pager refresh set to 10 seconds, and i'm not having any CPU problems with it at all :)

I'm running vbPortal, and I have installed this mod - but it doesn't seem to be working on my portal pages, particularly the home page. In order for anyone to see the pager messages, they have to be browsing the forum section.

Other than that, it works fine. But is there a way to get it to work on the home page in vbportal? Also - it's not showing up in the vbportal "quick links". Is this normal?

Thanks,

hi.
i wanted to ask if the problem with popup in the Opera browser is already solved.
because want to use some more member very gladly more pager however not without opera to do. and if popup in the lower part the page is not always developed is sense of the thing.

excuses the very bad English. that is a google translation :)

Ok I don't know if anyone else is having this problem but.....

I have 4 different styles on my forum. And if I send a page to someone who is using a different style than I am, they don't get the page. Same vise versa.. if they send me a page, I don't receive it either.

Is there some sort of bug that prevents this from working when members are using different styles??

There's another issue with this as well....

I have the userpermissions set so that only my admins and staff are supposed to be able to use the pager. NO members are to be able to use it.
However they can still see the icon in the post bit and when they click on it, it DOES open the pager window. So evidently, the hack isn't taking on those usergroup permissions either.

any fixes for this??

welp, since the developer for this hack hasn't bothered to to reply to this thread since the middle of April, and he's been online twice this month but didn't drop in here...... I'm uninstalling this hack.
There are way too many problems with it, and since it's a nicety but not a necessity, it's just not worth it to pull my hair out over it, lol

When/if it gets updated/fixed I may look at it again

is it not fixed yet??

I hear this killed a forum because of performance slowdown...
anyone having this problem?

You can browse around my site - I have it installed. I've noticed a slowdown, but I think it may be due to my own server issues, not necessarily this script. You'd have to have a really crappy host to have this thing kill an entire forum. But check mine out - pages should load between 2 and 6 seconds or so: http://trikketalk.com

Removed, it seems to not working on my test forum (I only have the list of connected users/buddy list, impossible to "page" checked users (nothing happen, no error messages, etc))

Can you please add the german Phrases to the above Downloadpossibilitys ?

http://www.vbhacks-germany.com/forum...&postcount=114

The only reason I removed this is because it wasn't working with usergroup permissions like it is supposed to. I had them all set for only staff to be able to use it, not members. But members could still access the pager. Not good.
Also, support seems to have dropped off to nothing as well.

nope

Is there a possibility to change at every User the Sound to be activated in the UserCP ?

Not that I've found. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the thing to work on the home page in my vbportal hack.

ok thanks

Read (hope) everything here but don't find the error.

Everything works fine nearly only if I page a user the Message window open an if I try (Firefox 1.5.0.3 or IE) to type a Text it's impossible. Every sign will be deleted automaticly after I type it.

What can be wrong?

Thnx for your help.

Greetings
Hans

Works great on my 3.5.4 forum!!

Thanks
