i think its a firefox issue cause i only get in firefos, not IE

Bashy

[bashy]

Another issue i have noticed, When you delete the messages i still get in the navbar, Pager Messages: Unread 0, Total 8. but like i said, i have deleted them lol...

Getting a few comlaints about it,the popup looks far too long and they cant read all of there messages????

It also closes there browser when they read the message or sommat...

It would be very much appreciated if you can come in and take a look and sort if you can

If you receive pager messages on the vbadvanced page, the users avatar is not shown.

uae, have you had the chance to view on this one?

but if you want to have it, I can provide you with the template edit for that.

Thanks that would be nice.
I think the problem I am having the default avatar is a broken link issuse because an image placeholder is showing for users who don't have an avatar. Where in the templates can I correct this?
