Going to try and put them all in one post. Maybe someone can help answer them all? If I miss one, let me know and I'll add it to this post.

I'll give it a try. I can't answer all of them, but I'll try to offer some insight:

1. Any progress on un-install issue. (Forum SQL errors after trying to remove)

The uninstaller fails because some tables aren't getting dropped or its trying to drop tables that don't exist. See my "Oh My Gosh I've broken it" post to manually uninstall:

2. How do you turn off the rating option?

Its easiest to just edit it out of the Userpage template (Not Userpage.PHP). Find the following code in the Userpage Template and remove:

<if condition="$canrate">
<td class="tcat" id="rate" nowrap="nowrap" width="25%" align="right"><a href="#rate">$vbphrase[rate_userpage]</a>
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("rate"); </script>
</td>
<else />
<td class="tcat" nowrap="nowrap" width="25%" align="right">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_$rating.gif" border="0">

And also remove the following:

<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
		<div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_5.gif" alt="$vbphrase[excellent]" /><label for="vote5"><input type="radio" name="rating" id="vote5" value="5" $votechecked[5] />$vbphrase[excellent]</label></div>
		<div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_4.gif" alt="$vbphrase[good]" /><label for="vote4"><input type="radio" name="rating" id="vote4" value="4" $votechecked[4] />$vbphrase[good]</label></div>
		<div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_3.gif" alt="$vbphrase[average]" /><label for="vote3"><input type="radio" name="rating" id="vote3" value="3" $votechecked[3] />$vbphrase[average]</label></div>
		<div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_2.gif" alt="$vbphrase[bad]" /><label for="vote2"><input type="radio" name="rating" id="vote2" value="2" $votechecked[2] />$vbphrase[bad]</label></div>
		<div><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_1.gif" alt="$vbphrase[terrible]" /><label for="vote1"><input type="radio" name="rating" id="vote1" value="1" $votechecked[1] />$vbphrase[terrible]</label></div>

Obviously you will want to tweak the layout since you are getting rid of a major part of the page.

3. Is there any if conditions to show a link only if the user has a page up?

Not that I have been able to find. You may want to search the thread because some alternatives were stated, but I can't guarentee they work.

4. Report this page, brings up a blank page and doesn't post in the desired forum.

I don't want to speak for Amy, but I believe this is a function not fully implemented yet. I created a custom form page through CMPS (Portal) and simply linked to it. You can also just put a simple email link.

5. Cant delete pages, and some users cant create pages?

This is almost always a permissions issue that's been overlooked in the setup. You may wish to check this post:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=356

for the solution.

6. user pages searchable using the vbulletin search function?

Nope.

7. Why is the wording for the page rating dropdown missing?

Not sure about this one. Perhaps its a color issue? An example (link) would be helpful.

Hopefully this helps. I'll do my best to drop in and address issues.

I want to point out that nearly all of these issues have been brought up before. I highly recommend checking the links above and using the "Search this thread" function if you are still having specific issues.

I want to stress that I'm not a programmer and "learned by doing", but mostly it just takes time, experimenting and NOT giving up.
