http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-6803
This causes the application form to not display properly with Internet Explorer. It does display properly with other browsers.

EDIT:
Question. Is this compatible with the Patch level 1 release for 502.1 that just recently released?

Though I haven't tested it, it should be compatible with 5.0.2 PL 1.

Beta 5 of this mod? If so, follow these instructions in the ReadMe.txt file...

* Removal *
----------------
1) Go to ACP->Settings->Options->Plugin/Hook System and set it to 'No'.

2) Uninstall the product in ACP->Products & Hooks->Manage Products.

3) Delete the core/packages/advapp5 folder from your server.

4) Delete the core/admincp/advappadmin.php file from your server.

5) Delete the admincp/img/module-icon-advapp.png file from your server.

6) Go to ACP->Settings->Options->Plugin/Hook System and set it to 'Yes'.

If you don't follow those instructions, the mod will not uninstall. This does not happen with the lastest version.

Pretty good mod and easy to set up. Only thing that might make it better is if you could get it to display the form as a new post to an already existing thread.

Thanks!
