I'm a bit confused -- I installed this, and it's working (mostly, my vba_cmps doesn't work). However, i noticed the "mgc_cb_evo_pm_new.gif" images. Are these supposed to show in the channel list like my custom channels? I don't see them in use anywhere.

[TeknoSounds]

I pointed out the CMPS issue on the vbadvanced module thread. Basically this mod had a major code rewrite going from 2.3 and 2.4, so all the functions need to be rewritten to reference the new classes instead of the old function page. Tis gonna take some work for sure.

All of you have the same issues. You can't read/follow instructions. The same errors happened to me the first time I tried uninstalling. DO NOT TRY AND REPAIR THE TABLES. That's not the issue.

How to fix: REINSTALL THE EXACT PRODUCT VERSION, then follow the directions inlcuded step by step and you won't have any issues. I've installed/reinstalled this about 2,000+ times and anytime I wasn't paying attention, I'd muck it up. You'll be fine if you do what I just said.

If you would have taken 20 seconds and searched for "loading" in this thread you would have found the answer.

This time search for "mod_security" and you will find the answer I posted.

It's completely not his responsibility to either warn you or test it with any 3rd party addon.

I think an apology is in order don't you?

I may have overstated my case a little but no, don't think so.
In my defence I will clarify my meaning.... If you (any coder) were to produce a VERY popular product, which you know has 3rd party addons/plugins (which should be fairly obvious) and you were then to change the very structure or code architecture of your original product, would'nt you feel even a little morally obliged to inform people that the addons/plugins may not work correctly until they themselves have been updated?
I'm pretty sure I would.

Obviously you aren't a coder or designed anything because that in itself is a huge task. And it's also not ethical. Why? Well since you feel the need to sit here and try and glorify yourself, you'd realize that EULA are made for a reason. Microsoft doesn't HAND out their code, nor notify all 20398209845023984502 companies. Instead those 2039208345298452394 companies have to dissect and update their products based on the platforms etc. Microsoft might give support, but they don't do what you claim or suggest. Big or small, no coder has that kind of time. kthankskyoulosekbai.
