I find these little self-righteous explosions ("How DARE you include a footer link!") to be very tedious. The solution is easy and obvious:

Don't want the footer?

(1) Contact the author and see if you can make an arrangement to remove it, perhaps for a fee as you do with an unbranded vBulletin license.

(2) Uninstall the add-on.

What NOT to do?

(3) Post some self-righteous rant in the coder's thread making an utter fool of yourself by telling everyone how outraged you are.

Solution:

Admin CP >> Settings >> Options >> Cookies and HTTP Header Options

Set Disable IE8 Compatibility Mode = No

Then rounded corners work. Partially. On the home page but not on all pages.

See attachments.

Error on uninstall:

Actually, on checking further I see the same thing on the DigitalPoint forum: Only partially rounding corners.

I fully agree with you, you'll notice just above his post what I asked ;)

if your going to add a footer link in a mod then it should be included in the product details. It gets old in a hurry when they get snuck in like that. And they serve no purpose to the forum members at all. Just a way to try and make money by forcing us to pay to get rid of them. If its good i will donate all on my own and don't need some lame ass link in the footer to get me to do it.
oh and it was IE9 to the question above.

Regarding the rounding corners... it doesn't round every corner, only corners that vBulletin rounds normally in Firefox, Safari and Chrome.

For the install issues... had to do some obnoxiously roundabout things to get it to be able to (properly) compile templates on installation/uninstallation. But I think I'm going to change it so there is a separate process to do it that the install gets redirected to. It should solve the installation screwiness for some people.

For the attribution link... we don't have a paid/attribution free version (too much work to set up something like that), but people are of course free to not use it of course. The add-on description was changed to mention it.

I do hope you get this one working as it will be a good add on. What is the deal with IE that it doesn't support rounded corners or shadowing?

IE9 does support that. But current versions of vBulletin do workarounds with the CSS for IE because earlier versions did not. vBulletin has not yet caught up with IE9.

For those having issues installing or uninstalling... I simplified it and instead of trying to get "tricky" and making the whole process automatic (which was causing problems for some people), I instead made a function to compile CSS functions that will show up under the "Update Counters" area of the AdminCP. When you install, the system will automatically redirect you there and do it automatically.

Uninstallation is a bit obnoxious though since when you uninstall, you also lose the Compile CSS Templates option, so you can't really automate it. See update in original post for a note on how to (properly) uninstall manually.

Doing it this way should eliminate the SQL errors some people were getting as well as PHP memory limits and execution time (since it will process 25 at a time and then start a new batch of 25... resetting PHP execution time and memory in the process).
