You confirmed that this was in fact a bug, but now you're saying I don't have $vboptions[bburl] set properly? Everything is set fine.

This seems to be the problem. However, I'm not sure there would be any reason to tweak the HTML hack to display HTML in forumdisplay, since the only use would be for your hack. Can't you incorporate the showthread hooks into news.php?? As for shownews.php using showthread AND postbit hooks... The actual posts do NOT have postbits when viewing replies in shownews.php and was wondering if this was intentional?? It makes it very hard to see who posted the reply as there is only a very small "Posted By" in the top of the post (which ends up being unreadable white text on a white background), instead of a very large Username and Avatar in the postbit.

I'm running 3.6.4 and the only options for HTML in Usergroup Permissions is under "Signatures". The HTML hack I'm using is still very much needed to enforce HTML permissions per Usergroup.

Wrong again. I completely uninstalled and re-downloaded and installed your hack after you posted about a "small update" a few days ago. The small update at least got it running on my forums, since it didn't work at all before.

Uh, well.. if you're releasing a hack, you might want to make it so that it works on others' forums.. not just yours. That's why I've been posting in this thread letting you know all the problems I've been having. In shownews.php, there's no logic in having Alt1 text in a Thead table cell, it should all just be one or the other.

Sorry if this post is coming across as harsh.. I had posted several days ago about a few of these problems and you had admitted there was a bug and that a fix was on the way, but now you're saying there's absolutely nothing wrong with your hack and it's all my fault, so what gives?

You wanted feedback and I gave it. Instead of first dismissing my bugs as user error, could you please look into it? Just because I have a low postcount and just recently joined doesn't mean I'm incompetent. Your hack didn't even work on my forum until your most recent update, so is it out of the realm of possibility that your product still has bugs?? I have a working forum with a non-working hack, and that's confirmed enough for me.

I apologize in advance for the tone of this post. It's probably coming across more harsh than I mean it to.
