This sounds a lot like the product XML file wasn't imported.

Some people type www.mysite.com to get to the board, some people type mysite.com. Just difference of personal preference.

If the setting in the Admin CP is www.mysite.com/forum, then those that go to mysite.com/forum can't use the pager. And if the setting is mysite.com/forum, then those that go to www.mysite.com/forum can't use the pager.

Is this making sense? I mean...that's just a semantics issue. And it seems like users do things differently, and this in a way punishes them for not doing it the "right" way.

You can alleviate your users typing in domain.com instead of www.domain.com by adding this to your .htaccess file (this redirects them to the correct url....the www.domain.com )

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

This also has the added benefit of keeping your "PageRank" juice to just the "www.domain.com" version of your site and eliminates possible "duplicate content" penalty that some search engines may see from having the same content at domain.com and www.domain.com. FWIW

P.S. you should put this above any other RewriteCond or RewriteRules you have (and just below "RewriteEngine On") and obviously substitute domain.com with your real domain name.

I have installed this for someone on their forums vb 3.5.4 and have this problem !
I have read every page of the thread, several have had the issue but no fix has been posted. The "page user" button does nothing in IE 7 b2 and Fx 1.0.5.1 no popup to appears to type a message into. Apart from that everything else seems to be spot on but till messages can actually be sent we arent really going to know.

I haven't tried the hack with IE 7, but Firfox should be fine!
Make sure you got your forum URL filled out and you are accessing the forum with the same url. See this post

Works fine in IE 7 Beta 2 for me
