If you put a smiley in your title for an entry, it displays properly everywhere, except in the navigation at the top when I view the entry;
If you upload a file that isn't a supported attachment by vB and hit submit, I see the following;
I'm guessing it should say something along the lines of "This type of file is not allowed to be uploaded".
A browser issue with WMP, so it may not be fixable your end;
Haven't had that long to play around with it, but still love it .
Thanks - the first two are bugs, the third is because I was lazy when I wrote the javascript to resize the video window.
Edited - actually, I can't reproduce the first one - it displays fine for me. Can you give me any hints?

I might know why, do you have HTML enabled (Category and Entry Creation and Editing > allow_html)? I turned it on and it displayed correctly, but I wouldn't enable it on my live board because it enables HTML in the actual entry itself as well. BB code is enabled.
EDIT:
A couple more minor bugs. If an individual comments more than once on an entry, it still states there is only 1 comment/rating. Also, if you set comments to be in-line (inline_comment_and_rate = X), but have X+1 comments then "More..." appears, but doesn't link anywhere.
The link to more comments works with the drop down menu (dropdown_comment_and_rate), but the X comments/ratings thing is the same.
EDIT 2:
A strange browser issue;
The song (mp3) plays in IE 32 bit, but I can't see any of the controls, just the white bar. It doesn't play in the 64 bit version, but I get the link to download flash. It displays perfectly in FireFox. This might just be some strange setting I have on my PC (Vista 64 bit), so if anyone else could check this on theirs that'd be cool.
EDIT (again): The first time I navigate to the entry in IE7 32bit it displays normally, but any subsequent visits to the same entry, or any other mp3 entry results in the white box. Opening a new tab or window makes it display normally again on the first view.

You're right. At that point in the code, I inadvertently included the line of code to catch smilies, etc, in entry names twice, with the effect of escaping the html.

The count is misleading and I should correct it. Only the last rating from each user is counted. Comments were added to LDM after ratings, and I must have taken a short cut with the code.
More.. should link, so will fix.

Your problem with the white bar is a bug in Flash with IE (I think) - I spent some time on this a while back and found many reports of similar. I'm currenctly not able to check 64 bit Vista
The solution, I think, is to move the vbulletin.init script code outside all your divs, just before the close of the body tag, which is where it should be.
It is possible might also have problems in other parts of vBulletin, depending on whether they also expect to be initialising Javascript at the end of the page.

Okay. When I install this on my live board, if any of my IE users are able to reproduce this (browser) issue I'll simply disable the JW player, and do it via WMP, as that works fine .
--------------
I've found another comments bug. With settings of dropdown_width_comment_and_rate = 60 and dropdown_rows_comment_and_rate = 5, I get the following result;
The numbers I chose are arbitrary, but the comments do not match the values I set. This is the same for in-line comments, too.
---------
I also found a picture related bug;
The blank space is a picture upload entry.
EDIT:
Oh, and also, a very minor thing when you create a new entry. If you type something in the "Name" field and then press the TAB key on your keyboard it jumps to the "New Keywords" field, missing out the "Description" input area.
