Yeah I have asked them.

I also had a look at the loader page but my platform is denbian so maybe I could try the linux version?

Also in the mean time is there a preview anywhere?

Wow... I must have really thrown you through a loop with my question... I simply asked (as one of the few donating contributors (hate to remind you but sheesh.. my question only required a yes or no answer)) if this will still work on my vbAdvanced forum.

So I ask again... Will this or will this not work with vbAdvanced?

Thanks again.

@ ikorolis if you read the html read me then you will see that the answer is yes.

But You have to make sure you have the latest Ioncube installed on your server and that you have it added in your php.ini file.


Why don't you guys bother to read? The answers are there and you can see that VBDEV is kind of busy helping with problems that there is not yet a written answer too

[fxwoody]

Hoooollly ... And a Merry Christmas to you too VBDev loll

Tks for this new update, installing right now

[ikorolis]

Preview available on my website (see my sig).

Guess you could try the linux version, however not sure if that would be compatible with the fact that you already have a ioncube version on your forum though.

Better to see with host support.

Not sure what you meant by "through a loop". vBAdvanced integration can be done thanks to an additional product.

? Hard to understand you dude

If you don't have access to php.ini, have you tried asking your host ?

[mr_clean_mr]

my background is currently black. when i enabled "/pm command: Activate the private chats in tabs feature" it turns the background in the main channel from black to white. is there any fix to this? i would like to keep my background black but really need the pm feature

[VBDev]

You are not the only one to report that guess it's due to the PM tabs feature I use.

Can you report it in my bug tracker please :
http://www.mgcproducts.com/project.p...ssuetypeid=bug

I'll see if I can come to a fix.

[mr_clean_mr]

awesome! thanks for the fast reply!!!
