Quick question, how do I allow another user group to manage the invites etc. Like the super moderators. I am getting over run trying to do all of it myself.

Please update this for 4.0.5 or 4.0.6 when it is out

Could someone help me fix this as developer seems to be ignoring my question.

Thanks a lot.

lol im getting the same thing, i re-uploaded the product but still still sends me to smiles page.

edit: actually uninstalled, its makes the registration page look messy in IE to.

I am having a situation, and still have NOT figured out how to solve it.

In the text that is sent to a user that I send a invite to, it shows up BOLD when I go to send the invite...but when they get the invite, it doesn't show BOLD. It just shows the HTML code instead.

How can i fix that/

I have Database Error after testing this mod on vbulletin 4.0.3

The database has encountered a problem.

That's not the error, a MySQL error looks like this:

Invalid SQL:
INSERT IGNORE INTO blah blah;

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'blinc' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

But since this mod requires no manual edits, really the only thing that would cause errors would be conflicts with other mods. Look at what you have installed and try disabling anything similar.

Valter:

Would it be possibly to have the invite system on autopilot. Meaning, that if a user where to send an email to say "invite@abc.com" then it the invitation system, would automatically send them a invitation to join the forums?

[OverhaulNetwork]

I would love to see the invitation system tie into the referral system. Where the link in the invitation email would be the sending users referral registration link.

eg. http://www.domain.com/register.php?referrerid=1

[Valter]

This has been answered many times - user who invites their friends will be marked as referrers on registration. This is just done in different way.
