I'm still trying to understand how a few things work at vbulletin. Such as the custom stylesheet not being hooked if the admin setting to save css as file is turned on. Apparently, there is no fix for this yet, so a temporary fix for that would be moving all the contents from profile-intro.css to vbulletin.css if you wish to have the stylesheets to be saved to a file instead of load from the database.

Other two things are enablingg the img bbcode support and (per MelH's request) hiding the Profile intro Title and Profile intro Text data from the About Me tab on the Member page.

If someone can throw in some light for fixes here, I'm sure everyone will appreciate your input. I'll see what I can do as well.

I noticed this mod a long time ago, finally decided to try it out. Doesn't seem to work on 4.1.2.

Also tried on a similar 4.1.1 installation. No luck~

We are at Version 4.1.3 Beta 1 right now, I'll look forward to apply a compatibility fix when we reach the next latest stable version, to save some time.

I am on vb4.1.3, BB code seems to be working in the content not in the title. So, it seems to be ok for me

PS: Is there any option to set a message as default in all the profiles???

Member profile intros are meant to be individual, so every member would have to set a title and intro text for the profile intro block. Blobal profile intro blocks could be achieved as simple template modifications though.
