Additional permissions: Un-click a button. Control how many stats show on the statistics page, set permissions per subforum.

Integrated Controls: You can now integrate the button clicking controls into the post footer, like many of you requested.

That is a vBulletin error, not related to this mod.

Thank you, I know it was my fault. I accidentally deleted something while in FTP but I wasn't sure what the actual problem was or how to fix it.

[udomueller]

Is it possible to get an admin setting which allow to enable/disable this function:

Users can hide postbit items via the UserCP

?

Thanks for this mode. The latest version is not working well. I mean the arrow where you can click to show how many thanks given or received, likes and dislikes. The previous version was ok, but no idea why I updated!!

My issue now is when any member push the likes or thanks button, the arrow freezes until the page is refreshed. Besides, the click doesn't count anyway the same as before, sadly.

any idea how to get around this issue?

BTW my vb4.2 is where I installed it on...

[DragonByte Tech]

The arrow never worked after someone used Quick Edit to edit their post, or clicked the Thanks button, or used AJAX Quick Reply, ...

It was not created with the intent to support AJAX refreshes, and it cannot be done either sadly.

Thanks for the comments, Fillip. The first versions works without any problems. so one of my forums is still using it, but the new versions on another one. I guess I will leave it like that. Thanks

[SmartMania]

The mod was working fine in my forum.
Now I click in any of the buttons and nothing happens.
But when I refresh the page I can see that I have given like or thanks.

I haven't made any changes or updates recently
