How was this done? I use an Ambience Skin and I am having the IE crashing problem.

Here's one i havent seen anyone post.

Warning: Division by zero in /includes/functions.php on line 1821

This is appearing in the popups when trying to delete your messages.

This is happening in IE and FF.

Also, an issue with this only working when someone is in the usercp, on the forum index page the system doesnt work.

----------------------------------------

Not sure on the first issue, most likely mkportal is causing all your issues.

The deleted issue and messages still showing up in the navbar is this. This total is actually the amount of messages the user has sent in total on the system and is not deleteable by the user, to remove that total you need to prune the system.

Im assuming maybe eau is grabbing the wrong info for that total from the DB, it should be grabbing the total from the amount of messages in the users inbox/sent box and combine that total together.

You can simply remove that call from the navbar or eau needs to grab the correct info. Ill look into it more as i dont like it either.

I'm sometimes replying to 4 or 5 pager messages and some of them don't send a reply until the next day .. would it be possible to add a quote of the last pager message, similar to a reply PM ?

First off - AWESOME hack, I love the heck out of it!!!

I recently installed the pager, and around the same time my paid subscriptions stopped working. Could this have anything to do with it? The pager is only available to my paid subscribers.

Well I found a way to realize that - it's just "quick and dirty" but the problem is solved:

I added a profile-field (text) where you can enter a refresh-time in seconds and in Template "PAGER" I replaced

	var refreshtime = {$vboptions['vbpager_ajax_refresh']};

with

   var refreshtime = (parseInt("0$bbuserinfo[field14]",10) > $vboptions[vbpager_ajax_refresh]) ? parseInt("0$bbuserinfo[field14]",10) : $vboptions[vbpager_ajax_refresh];

What's going up?
The user enters a time X in the UserCP. It's been compared with the preset time Y defiened by the admin. If the user-time is higher than the admin-time, the refresh is done all X seconds.
If the user enters a time which is lower than the Y or anything other than a nuber, teh refres will be done all Y secons.

Maybe you could possibly include a function like that in the next version?!
