2 things.

http://pbmessage.com (now on vbindex 3)

1. error on bottom right, I feel stupid because I cant figure out whats causing it, it would be nice to get it figured out.

2. what template do I edit so it lets people login from the front page, it isnt working because the full path isnt in front of it and I forget which template I edit to have it work properly.

Thanks

I got number 2 figured out, its the navbar, I'd still like to figure out number 1 though

[NTLDR]

This thread is for vBindex 2.1 support and not vBindex 3 support.

NTLDR,

For quite some time ago we vbindex 2.1 on our site and it has been running flawlessly. Recently, I noticed smilies are no longer showing in the news posts and in the shout box. Do you know of any reason this may happen?

I am running vb v2.3.0
I have been running vbindex for at least 6 months I would imagine.
Our site can be viewed here: http://www.dfrsquad.com

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

[NTLDR]

Unless you have changed the code/upgraded vBulletin, edited the smilies or the forum options for them then there is not real reason for them to studdenly stop working.

[SilverDawn]

ok thanks... I was kind of hoping you could point me to where the code could be flawed though... I did check all of the coding in the pages and they matched the instructions in your hack. I guess I will just fight my way through it.

[SilverDawn]

NTLDR,

I updated to 2.3.3 replacing all of the files and starting fresh. I reinstalled vbindex 2.1 and no smilies resulted yet again. Is there anything that you could think of that is causing this error?

Anything would be greatly appreciated at this point. Perhaps I will updrade to the newer versions...

vbindex 3 works with gamma?

[MindTrix]

Nope because vB3 hacks arent allowed here until vB3 RC1

[wardsweb]

I login via the vBindex, get the thank you for loggin in page and then it takes me to the regular forums, where it shows me logged in. Now if I go back to the vBindex page, it shows me as guest . Any clue? some cookie not working? got a bad link somewhere?
