Support
[hr]-[/hr]I use my released mods daily, if I find an issue with them or add features for myself I will release updates. If there are significant bugs or simple feature requests I will do my best to release fixes. Some of my mods rely on fetching data from 3rd party websites, due to the unreliable results, my mods will require users to troubleshoot for themselves if they find the addon is not working for them specifically. I am offering my personal mods that work ok for me for you to use, I am sorry I do not have time to troubleshoot many user specific issues. Thank you for your understanding.

I have not been able to look into this yet. Maybe next week.

Could that be causing the problem?

[CremeEgg]

Anyone know why the mod wouldn't auto insert into the navbar/forumhome/quick links?

Other mods I have do this fine, just not this one.

EDIT: Fixed forumhome. Just seems my style doesn't like auto adding to the navbar.

I have a strange problem..

everything seems to have installed correctly however It's been installed for 4 days and still nobody shows in the leaderboards.

I've installed this in v3.5.8 can someone tell me where to start looking for a possible problem, I'm sure it's something very simple and very stupid and yet I can't figure it out.

edit:I double checked the field number and it's the same

Thanks,

[xHLHx Darkskilz]

Oke, when you need to upload thing where do you need to upload; overlib sice i dont have that map. Do you need to make it?
Same goes for gXboxLive map.

Thats great! Please also note that a banned user will still have his rank appear on the postbit, despite him not actually appearing on the leaderboard.

It will have no problem with gamertags with spaces. PM me the gamertag you are having trouble with. It will be a problem if he uses an underscore as a space fyi.

Thanks,

Template hooks were introduced in about 3.6.7, anything prior will require manual linking.

I really do not understand what you are talking about. There are files you have to upload just like the forum files by ftp, it can't be any clearer than that.

Ah yeah, I forgot about that. I will make a note to fix that.

Hi there

What i did was import my SMF forum when I first started, but all usergroups & users were moved to the VB standard usergroups & then I deleted the old usergroups.

What Access do I need to give you to look at the problem? http://gameforum.co.za/forum/index.php

this mod will really be great for my site & members!

thanks

Mark

Any idea how to change the gXboxlive Leaderboard text into something that fits my site? Is that possible?
