+ New Wimpy plugins added - integrate with wimpy player and wimpy button

Attachment removed - 2.2.6. is now the official release.

Thanks a lot AndrewD. Installing now and will let you know of anything I come across...

Ta AndrewD :) .. Installing now, I'll let you know if I find anything.

hmm .. something funny is going on :)

Everything seems to have become centerised ..

AndrewD, take a look at www.yaxleyvillage.com/local_links.php to see what I mean ..

The category discriptions, as well as the sub forums .. the discriptions of links within the Tabular linkbit too .. not to mention whats going on with the short linkbit is no longer in rows but all bunched up (look in my local contacts cat) ..

Is it a new setting? or has something gone wrong?

You're right about the centering, but it seems only with IE. Mozilla Firefox is behaving correctly. I'll take a look - probably I've missed out a 'center' tag somewhere.

The short linkbit is defaulting to the default 'max cols' for the linkbit, as you haven't set a link_cols_display value. That's what happens when I try to fix someone else's bug report... Again, I'll take a look and try to post a fix this evening.

Cool AndrewD, thanks :)

heh, just looked using my iBook and the centering looks fine using Safari too .. bloody IE ;)

You're right in that I've not got anything in the link_cols_display setting. After having a look I did change this to 1 as a test but it didn't go back to how it used to be, but instead just showed the link in a block like it does without the setting, but only one per row instead of the default 6 ..

Sorry for the extra work ..

Edited, superseded...

I'll try this tonight and let you know.

Thanks AndrewD .. I've tried those files out and while it does look as if the display of categories and subcats are back to normal, the linkbits are still wrong.

The Tabular linkbit is still centering things (in IE only it seems) instead of aligning things to the left.

The Short linkbit is defaulting to 1 entry per row (with no setting in admin) but the details of the entry has a breakline in the middle and isn't filling in the whole row like it did before ..

See above to see what I mean re the short linkbit.

Hope that helps ..

Actually, AndrewD, the idea of giving unregistered users collectively an X amount of bandwidth usage everyday makes perfect sense to me. I was only asking a clarificatory kind of question. I didn't mean to say that I didn't like this feature. In the newer versions, i.e., for vBulletin 3.6, have you really changed this bandwidth quota to apply to unregistered users individually? If you have, then we could have server bandwidth maxed out quickly should a larger number of unregistered users visit our site:

Suppose we have purchased 50 GB monthly bandwidth, and we only expect about 50 unregistered users using about 20 MB per day. That would come down to 1 GB per day and 30GB per month. That's still within the limit of the quota. But if all of a sudden, we have 200 of these visitors, then the bandwidth usage will shoot up to 4GB per day, and we will use up our monthly bandwidth in two weeks.

I think you should keep collective bandwidth usage for unregistered users intact because of this kind of unpredictability. For registered users, bandwidth usage is more predictable. I would greatly appreciate it if you could reinstate this feature. But for file opening, I agree with you that it should be applied individually to each IP, registered or unregistered. Thank you. Please reconsider.
