QueenBee, do me a favor and look in your admincp, where the vbpager option is......scroll down to

vB Pager AJAX Check Period

and set that to 0.......then scroll down to

vB Pager Display Window Refresh Period

set this to 50 and lastly scroll down to

Floodcheck - Minimum Time Between Pager Messages

set this one to 0

Let me know what that does for your pager system..........

This would be great to save on space.

Thanks

I am not promising naything, but I am going to attempt that.

What would the SQL statement be if I wanted to set all my members to default accept incoming pages and use the system? for some reason when I upgraded they are all set to no now.

Thanks!!

Hey people.

Earlier I posted saying that I only wanted to use this system for moderators & admins to use, so I have only Admins & Mod's groups allowing it.

The problem was that everyone on the board could see the icons to send a pager message, the links in every users profiles and it still shows up in the quick links.

Not good to have something showing to everyone when all it does is say "You are not allowed to use vbPager" when they click on it...is it?

So, after some playing around I found that if you go into...

- Postbit / postbit_legacy template
- MEMBERINFO template
- navbar template

and find where it says <--- [Start vbPager HACK..... ...../ ----> (in between these)
....

wrap <if condition="$show['pager']"> and </if> around the code and then it will only become visible to those groups who are allowed to us vbPager.

Hope this helps some people.

Maybe a bug, if there are around 2000 messages stored the pager system is not working more. After deleting them all now everything is fine.
