I am using IE7. Has anything come of this or is it just going to be handled in the next release...?

And you are getting the Ajax error ?? You shouldn't be getting it with 3.7.

Can you view page source in your browser and search for vbulletin_version ?

Please then copy the line here.

And you are the only one having this issue ?

You seem to be using YUI as remote (loading javascript files from yahoo), have you tried with javascript retrieves locally ? It's a chatbox option.

Well I haven't had any issue with accent so far.

Which language is your forum ?



Well few questions :

• Which vB version do you use ?
• Do you have YUI files has local or ? (options of the chatbox)
• Do you have mod_security on your server ?

My forum is Italian

One feature request please:
Tachy Goes to Coventry users are auto-ignored by everyone else

[msu2k]

One more request:
In vBulletin you can choose whether to use Google or Yahoo for Use Remote YUI option. Not sure if this mod automatically defaults to that VB selection or if it only uses Yahoo.

[macc]

I see you have fixed many bugs above, only a few left to go. Hopefully you will be able to sort the rest out this weekend so I can purchase the branding free copy as soon as this works on my site.
