Introduction:
vB Pager is a text-based instant messaging system over your community between members. Users can exchange short & quick messages amongst each other.

Adding people to your buddy list also allow you to send pager messages to multiple forum members at the same time. You may add any member of the forums to your buddy list by clicking the icon next to their names in the vB Pager Online Members Page or Clicking the Manage Buddies Link to add/remove members into your list.

  • Received Pager Messages are Draggable Inline Popups.

One question

If I page a user then he gets a reply box
but after I get the reply from him back I don?t have a reply box anymore.

*EDIT*: Ok I found why it behaves this way but the "Can Use Allow Reply Option When Paging Another User" feature should set to standart "reply = yes" if set to no.
It makes no sense to not allow users to reply as standart but it makes sense to not allow users to disallow reply by default

Thanks for this hack

I thought this was working fine well it is working fine but I just realized that in my userCP edit profile I have no VB options to turn the sound on I have reverted the templates, I have uninstalled and reinstalled (which caused my site to lose several hundred pages) rebuilt style, rebuilt bitfields I have done everything and darn it its just not showing the option for sound I have rechecked all edits over and over now I did this on my other site straight from 3.0.2 and its there the option it works perfect but doing it the upgrade way nothing it does not insert the sound option into the modifyoptions and the code is there I have even went as far as to delete everything and start over from scratch manually deleting the tables and fields it added..deleting all files from server then reinstall that way nothing...

Since the 3.0.2 worked fine outta the box so to speak is this a problem with those of us who had the beta on maybe? then upgraded is anyone else seeing the usercp option who did it the upgrade way.. going to keep working with this..I read back about 10 pages and saw a few things I already tried them unless I missed something if so I apologize and would love a point in the right direction..

ETA: I also tried deactivating several products incase something was maybe interfering still a no show..

ok, I installed this, and so far my members love it. I however am having a very bad day.

I try to send a page to a member. I goto their profile and click the link there. It pops up a box listing everyone online and pageable. I check his name, and hit page, and site there.

Someone pages me, I get nothing. I check on pages and even though it now says theres a new one, the box says none.

This is all using Firefox 3.5.0.1
Worked ok with a super clean install, but, the moment I installed any extensions, the pager stopped working.

Everything works fine if I use IE 6 or latest Opera build.

My GF is running the same setup as me, and has no problems.
Is there a setting in FF that needs to be tweaked?
(I'm running adblock, have the site whitelisted. Also have set it as trusted in internet options)

I'm stumped.

The Plug in manager should do that for you, just uninstall the product, and all the table entries should be cleared!

No it's not a Beta, it is the latest release so far which I think is the most stable one!
