[Kuimera]

Ok im desintalling this mod, giving to much probs in my forums, cant have my users crashing the browser all the time, sorry.

[yellowchaser]

Same here, I finally got it installed and all it does is crash IE for my users. Uninstalling until this bug is put to rest.

Seemed to work fine, I can see I will get interupted quite often and I had to do some tweaking in my custom Member's Profile, other than that it seems to work, a moderator and I filled up the quota I had set up in no time. Thanks for the great hack, I clicked installed.

FYI- my IE crashing stopped when I stopped linking to an external CSS file and relied only on VB's CSS -

		documentHeight=self.innerHeight/2+window.pageYOffset-20;
	}

if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("opera") != -1) 
{
	documentWidth=self.innerWidth/2+window.pageXOffset-20;
	documentHeight=self.innerHeight/2+window.pageYOffset-20;
}

This is working for me - I tried it also with 'Identify as IE' within opera which was working too...

The problem is that

var ie=(document.all);

is true for opera but

if (ie)
	{
		documentWidth  =truebody().offsetWidth/2+truebody().scrollLeft-20;
		documentHeight =truebody().offsetHeight/2+truebody().scrollTop-50;
	}

doesn't work with the browser...

Well' Opera is not XHTML, W3C Compliant, and I am not using Opera, neither my members!
But I'll try something to sort that out.

I have a recurrent problem with members who advertise through PM and who will certainly do the same with vBPager. When a spam-like PM is reported to me, I usually warn the user with a copy of that PM (I've installed one of the read-PM hacks). Do you plan on adding an admin option to read the users' messages?

Thx

I don't think I need that option, but I don't mind IF anyone willing to create an add-on to read PAGER messages from ADMINCP

1. I have no way of editing the permissions for any of this. In your one picture you show the vb pager permissions at the bottom of the usergroups manager screen. I get none of those options.

2. My entire forum is repeating at the bottom of my footer. And it's repeating at only half the width?????

I'll keep looking through it all to see if I screwed up the template modifications, but I've done so already and haven't found it yet. I'll go through it again though.

Send me a pm with a user account to your forum.

For the online users pager page, I would use 60 seconds, and for the AJAX Period, I wouldn't use less than 10 seconds.

Also I saw somewhere in the last 27 pages where someone was asking about weither you could be able to TURN OFF the sent messages by default but I didn't see a response. I would like to turn that off as it seems to fill up a little to quickly when you send a lot of messages.

Thanks and good luck with the rest of the issues. Everything is great over here

Thank you so much sir
I did not get what you meant by TURNING OFF the sent messages?
like you don't want to have the sent messages stored?

You mean it's disapearing even if you didn't click on the close or the reply buttons?

You can always open the same Private message from 2 diff windows, Pager messages would me the same I guess.

I'm sorry to see that, but you need to upgrade your forum to at least vB 3.5.0

[yellowchaser]

I did, I upgraded it to 3.5.3 and it worked after that with the exception of it crashes IE.

[caimakale]

Thanks uae...great hack..installed it into 6 styles without a problem in any of them!
