Hi

I have not been able to send a message using Firefox, its as if the character limit is set to 0. I have checked this with my admin account also and still have the sam issue.

Also the page popup windows also grab my side blocks therefore makes it look a right mess...If you want a test account please let me know and i will pm you

Aslo still says xx amount pager messages in the navbar although they been deleted

Ref the IE problem
I thought it was a virus, it didnt affect me as I have IE7 but loads of users were contacting me going mad.

The problem is this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892052

The resolution is no good for us, however I fixed mine by recreating all my templates with AJAX selected to disable unsafe features.!

I display my shouts above the controls and have them in reverse order, can you set the scroll bar to allways scroll by default to show the newest post ?

This is how I would go about debugging my Hack (vB Pager)

1- I will make sure that my Forum's running at least vBulletin 3.5.0 or up.
2- I will make sure that I am using the latest stable browser (IE, FireForx, etc...)
3- I will make sure that all files are uploaded and I have imported the product, then check all the template edits.
4- I will look into the vB Pager Permissions under the Usergroup Manager for each usergroup that I want to give the permission to use vB Pager and set the desired permissions.
5- I will look into the vB Pager Options from the ADMINCP, and set all the desired options. (DO NOT FORGET TO SET YOUR FORUM DIR NAME WITH a forward-slash AT END AND START)
6- I will look into the vBulletin Options from the ADMINCP, and check the Forum URL (Site Name / URL / Contact Details) and make sure I got the correct url to my forum. (See the attached file)

7- If I still got a problem, I'll try the hack with the defualt vB Style (unmodified templates) just the pager hack template edits.

9- If you tried all the above and none help, then it's either I suck or you suck, hey just kidding, send me a PM with a user account to your forum and let me take a look at it

From your ADMINCP, vB Pager Options, change the width and height size!

hmm ... seems as if the width set in options isn't used at all?


edit:
same for template "pager_messagelist":

I love this hack but it is causing crashes for me occasionaly. I believe it happens when someone sends a page to someone who is off line.... It happened with the other version too.

Has anyone else encountered this problem???

[themajor]

I recently tried to add the hack Vpager to my new forum (3.5.3) and can't seem to get it to work. All the files are on the ftp and in their correct place, but nothing is showing up in my admin controls to allow user group permissions. I was able to instal this hack successfully on one of my other 3.5.1 forums.

One thing I noticed though is that on the forum where everything works, I must go through a public-html folder to get to my forum folder. On my new forum, the ftp just has a forum folder. Maybe this is the problem??

Any help would be great.

Thanks

This crashes me on IE every time someone sends me a message. Sorry for me it was a great idea but poorly executed. Unless you know a fix...?
