1.4.3 - stable

I have already reported that one.

Attached is the Fuji flag as it was missing from the package. Upload it to the /database_flags directory.

Thanks Bob!

I think it was no good idea to delete most of the postings, because nobody still knows what was reported or not.

That?s my 2 cents...

[akanevsky]

I don't know who you think you are.

<personal information snipped>

Uninstalls.

Cheers! Just please don't forget about the fact of uninstallation when I make my next release. Thanks.

@firstrebel

Thank you for your support. And for the flag. That flag will be included in the flag database of PsiStats 1.2.8.
EDIT: Maybe you have a better quality flag? Your flag's resolution is kind of low in comparison to the rest of the flags. Thanks

@klaush

Country with a missing label is the old Ireland entry. That entry will be removed from your database after you install next release.
As for mods, my question still remain unanswered (I don't know, maybe it was in the one of the deleted posts): Are any of your supermoderators also designated as mods (I don't know why would you do that, maybe in order for them to show up in forum leaders screen, but anyway...)?

I love this but have uninstalled it untill it becomes stable.

It's perfectly fine, however don't forget to subscribe to this thread so that you receive update notifications.

Are you sure that google and msn have visited your forum after the update? In any case, I'll look into it.

It was a good idea, because the thread was bloated with pointless posts and screenshots, many of which reported the same problem.
Nothing was reported, simply every single post - including the ones made by me - were erased from this thread by my request. Now, for a short time, it will be easy to keep track of the new posts

Hi Psionic

Thanks for the quick response...

Yeah they both have, i know this due to the crawler block that i have now updates the crawlers again, Also the WOL also has started to show the crawlers again, this is how i know they have been on....

Regards

Bashy

[firstrebel]

Here's a better Fiji flag.

[akanevsky]

[bashy]

The only problem I have with my installation is it's not displaying Resolution or Color Depth stats... other than that I have no problems on vB 3.5.3

I really like the instructions you have coded with the boxes to collapse the steps you've finished, really nice... great hack

Yep, i answered already, but no problem. Yes, you are right! So, if they are both, only the s-mods are shown, correct?

If, that?s o.k. in this way...!

I am not really sure what causes the problem, because for others it works fine..

Yes, you are right! So, if they are both, only the s-mods are shown, correct?

In next release they will count both ways (e.g. the actual way of set-up).

I just found this site:
http://www.flags.net/
What about I use that in the hack?
