I have done some research and I want to first say that this is an outstanding modification but it is bringing my server to its knees.

I would like to know what is the proper way to uninstall this. Do I just delete the plugin? or is there some script that needs to be ran!!

Two problems,

1) Hack won't show on the forumhome.

2) All of the sudden the vbpager thing is broken and everytime you try to open the pager thing it shows a dialog for downloading "pager.php"

I tried to re-install it but that's not doing anything.

I uninstalled this hack from one of two of my boards and possibly will remove from my other since it;s not productionyet.. great concept but needs work on not using so much processor. I only had my staff members test this for a few day and processor jumped from 1% to 4-6% crazy.. What the heck is this thing doing.... Once this all gets worked out I might take another look

Anyone that says that their CPU usage goes through the roof needs to move server to a decent host

It's truly bad, taht there seems to be no support any longer on this great hack, my users love it.

Normally, the mentioned problem should be fixed quite easily if the Pop is registered for the IE (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912945/EN-US/) buit I don't know how.

Too bad....

Talk about bad timing. I uninstalled the hack a few weeks ago because of load problems. I JUST reinstalled the hack this past weekend to give it a second chance, only to find out about this new problem.
