http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-6398
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.
There is nothing I can do about this. It is a bug in vB5.

To fix this, edit the page again and then edit the application form module. The title will be there, just save everything a second time.

Can you solve this problem?

I'm unable to duplicate your problem. It works fine in 5.0.3 for me.

Try disabling any other mods you might have to see if the problem goes away.

Or post all of your settings for the application system and describe exactly where and how you get the error so I can try to duplicate it.

I do not I have any other mod installed, this is the only one, is a new installation, the forum is newly installed, if you agree I can send my ftp login details and master account.

Send them via PM please.

But, I won't be able to look at it until tomorrow.

Thank you for access to your site.

I've uploaded and installed the fix on your site, and released it here.

[sergiomc]

Thank you very much for your kind attention,

this is a great application, very useful.

[sergiomc]

You know how can do to show the application above of a only forum ?

[nhawk]

That can't be done. If you put the application module in any forum, it will appear in all forums.

That is a limitation of vB itself, not the application system.

[sergiomc]

Yes, I understand, I had tried, maybe later

Thank you for this mod

Installed 5.0.4 PL 1

1st Mod - I decided to put this on a new page. After I save it, how can I edit the Moderator Form or create new forms. I don't see any breadcrumbs or tabs to get to it unless I know the url.
