Have you figured out why I cant get the Team command to allow me to add additional usergroups to it?

Is it possible you can add a function to search for chats of a specific person or specific words? And also a "search" function to show all the latest posts of when you last visited.

Ok I am going to add a button certainly to add an email (as for urls).

The two requests you have are going to be added to the todo list but might not be in the next release (but planned to be introduced in the followings)

And you are the man. That's what it was.

Yeah, who helped you out with all the ideas when you first started I know that. LOL

It is a bug if I fresh install and it don't work. Just a suggestion, add that security token in the js file and rem it out?

[VBDev]

There won't be that problem anymore in the next version which will only be compatible with the 3.7 version of vBulletin.

I know it's not very fair to make it working only with the 3.7 version of vBulletin but I want to make the ajax calls compatible with the yahoo yui ajax of vBulletin which allows failure alert thus will help a lot in fixing problems that some users might encounter.
