I fixed the post_thanks_postbit_info template and the time is still not where it should be displaying.

I am uninstalled until this issue can be fixed for everyone with consistency. It looks horrible with it the way it's displaying now and this a reflect on me, not anyone from vbulletin.org.

I would link to my site but I do not want to leave it on with these errors, my forum is too large and too many would see this out of whack.

Pls let us know when there is a fix that will display this correctly.

Sorry for the long delays, we have been busy with a new product, and given the age and "Not Supported" status of this mod, we don't always check this thread. If you really want a response quickly, post in the designated thread at community.idealwebtech.com.

The postbit thanks issue is not an issue in our code, that is an issue in the html used by that product. The html that product uses, doesn't follow the format for that section, and that is what causes it to break.

Currently we are running 4.1.3, but I see no reason it wouldn't work on 4.1.4. I have not heard anything about it being incompatible, but we have not tested it either.

I'm not sure what your board is doing, but if you still have the old fix I gave you a while back, use it, if not, let me know.

If I missed anyone, sorry, please post again and let me know!

MOD doesn't work if you install on a new 4.1.4 but works if you upgrade from previous version.

Reason: VB deleted couple of files from 4.1.3 to 4.1.4 and when this MOD is installed the whole page/site goes blank.

Error log shows missing files and if you copy from 4.1.3 version, this should work!

So, it is safe to assume this mod will not work with 4.1.7?
