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.
  • vB Pager Ignore List ?pop-up? window lists are used for those people who's messages you wish not recieve from.
  • Received Pager Messages are Draggable Inline Popups.
  • Sending a message opens up a small window where you can type in message to be sent.

  • Logs of all incoming and outgoing pager messages ?Inbox/Sent Items? member has, can be viewed and deleted.

Okey first of all i must say this mod ROX!!

To have an pager system on your own forum instead of loggin on your annoying msn/icq all the time is a really neat function.. So i have clicked installed

But i have some problems...

If you have two IE windows up at the same time, and reload one of them, you get instructions debug error message.. and you have to close all IE windows..

Firefox works, but not IE.

I have tried to read thrue most of your replies here, but maybe i missed this part if it`S already got a solution for it.

Any clues on this matter?

Thank you so much in advance

If you got two IE windows up at the same time, both with the pager buddylist page, OR just two same windows with a pager message on them?
Like you are in FORUMHOME, and you got a pager message, then you clicked Ctrl + N on your keyboard which opens a new window, then you get a debug error message?

However when I try to page a user, i select the user, and click page, but it just scrolls to the top of the page. All usergroups are set up exactly the same, so it is not a group setting, and I have it enabled in my user cp.

Any ideas?

I got mine working its the damnest thing all I did was manually type in the code instead of copy paste into the modifyoptions and it started showing maybe before it was not picking up the paste or revert and I did not type in the whole thing just the first few lines and then pasted the rest and now its working..maybe it did not reconize the change at first heck if I know I am scratching my head but hey its working so I am not touching it..

But something I did realize and don't know if this will be helpful I had my very first IE crash yesterday I have never had it crash me..only thing different was normally I am already on my site when a page comes and the page pops up but yesterday I was just going to my site and had a page waiting on me trying to load up very first thing while the page was trying to load and it kept crashing on me I had to go into phpmyadmin and delete the page before I could get to my site..but 5 min later while on my site recieved another page and was fine so I had a friend test it with me and it would crash on me everytime if I entered the site with a page waiting..so maybe this is where the problem lies is there a option or could be made a option to not open pages in new window or popup to list you have a new one but not auto pop it up maybe play the sound and show it in the VB pager thing you have 1 new page with the lil sound but..not pop it up maybe this would stop the IE crashing..for those having the problem..made me wonder how many of my users had tried getting to my site but couldn't..because they had a page waiting and was on IE..anyway maybe nothing to this but did it everytime we tested if I entered site with a page waiting..so thought it might be helpful..

Actuall, if you tries to look at your forumhome in only one IE, and a user send you a message, and you get your message everytime you reload the page or go to another page right!?
Well, that was happening here. And that works.

But say i want to save one page, and open a link (on the first IE i have open) to a new window, then when i receve a message and go to one of the IE windows, i`ll get the message...
But i can`t then go into the other IE window and surf while the vb pager is open.
It would be nice if this had worked, let` s say you was looking for something and had to find the rest text/link etc to copy into the vbpager..

This dosen`t work.
Then IE closes all windows you have opened, even this one

EDIT: Now my IE crased, and one user (test user) can send message to me anyways, but then when i try to get on the page again, i receve the vbpager message, but the same time the IE crases again.....

Explains better?

Cheers.

hmmm ... in FF the poopup is too small ... how to fix that?
(It is the same for attachments ... any ideas guys? )

Installed to my 'Live' forums a few weeks ago, and updated on the 9th. We use numerous other hacks like the Geek auto-linker, ecDownloads, ibPro and others so was almost expecting some incompatability.
None of it! Installed flawlessly and my mods and admin have suffered no (zero) problems at all, remembering they use a variety of browsers (Firefox at home and anything from IE4 to IE7b at work)
First class hack, thankyou, the guys thinks it is the canine undercarriage....

[dirtycrow]

i get told this by my usres all the time.

I am getting an overlap page that says I am not logged on and under it I can see everything I usually do....

why is that?

[ztempuser]

when i use it it works fine, but one of my users said it keeps crashing their internet explorer.*i'm useng firefox*
