Thanks for this mod! I'll give it a try and report back! :)

Is there a such thing as a Wii Gamer card?

The gamercard new window that opens looks wonky depending on which browser is used. Example: Under IE you can't see the "Send message" and other links without resizing the window.

I initially thought it was my theme, but it does it under default as well.

Open the "product-bc-gamercards-vb3-v1.0.1.xml" and find this around line 134:
Replace with:
Reupload the XML file. (set Allow Overwrite to Yes)

Great mod!

Is there a way to remove the text "Gamer IDs:" and simply show the images? For example on a thread display.

Go to your style templates and find the "postbit_gamercards" template.
Find and remove this:

Excellent, thanks for the quick response! :)

Great mod mate, it works fine ! Btw on vb 4.1.2 there is nothing in the postbit. Any way to fix that ? Thanks so much for the mod btw <3
