We're going to delay gold for a couple days to resolve the two major complaints community owners have at this time:

1. The navbar/header/footer will be able to automatically be added.

2. We're going to rework the "Communities" link in the header. Instead of pointing to http://zoints.com/communities, we are instead going to create a system where forum owners can network with each other. "Subnetworks". For example, if you own an auto detailing forum, it would be in your interest to network with a honda and a toyota forum that don't have auto detailing subforums. Then, when you or your members click on the Communities link, instead of being taken to Zoints, a dropdown appears with links to those communities you are networked with. Yes, if you're a forum owner with 5 forums, you can network with yourself.

Thank you for your continued feedback so that we can improve Zoints Local. It is greatly appreciated :)

Many thanks for the reply, it is still useable, but holy Mother, what a pain when I do one of my 'total' forum backups https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

Great news :) That would be my only real complaint with this so far. Nice to see it being rectified.

Can you please elaborate on what the issue is when you do that? Thanks.

I installed this on my forum...and it replaced the normal Profile for users? How do I get the standard profile back on VB 3.6.3?

Our next version will allow for that automatically. The current version does not make them accessible. You may want to turn off the admincp > vbulletin options > zoints profile options until the next version is ready if it is bothering your members (sorry for the wait).

I thought I'd give a quick update on the progress we're making with automatically pulling the header and footer. As to be honest I'm rather excited because it makes everything look much cleaner when going from forum to profile. The below screenshots are from a page where everything is at a static 800 pixel width (thus the 2nd row of pages).

We still have some work to do to get the navbar working as desired. And because of this new code, you're able to now set fixed widths via the vbulletin style options. But that breaks a few things with our style editor so we need to figure that out. Overall, progress has been fantastic though. And it's all thanks to the feedback you folks have provided. :cool:

Will the QA Team be receiving a copy soon for testing? Sorry, I'm anxious. :)

:) not an issue, more me being old fashioned lol
I do have automatic backups enabled and yes they are quite satisfactory, but I still like to manually download my site once a week to keep a 'hard copy' so to speak, and all those embedded directories in the user folder just seem to double the time this all takes.
Am really looking forward to the update. Thanks.

One thing I don't think that's been answered, if I get the paid version for $120, can I make the URLs www.sitename.com/username instead of www.sitename.com/z/username (removing the z) ? This would be a big plus.
