[AJAX] vB Pager 3.0.4
Hack Version: 3.0.4
vB-version: 3.5.x
Developer: WwW.UAEWEB.CoM
Install-difficulty: Few minutes!
Introduction: vB Pager is a text-based instant messaging system over your community between members. Users can exchange short & quick messages amongst each other. Unlike the regular private messaging system, the paged user is guaranteed to read your message & reply to it (if you choose this option) instantly & easily.
Features:
Uses AJAX Technology to Send pager messages / Get pager messages / Add & Remove a member to buddy list / Add & Remove a member from Ignore list. (No Refresh Required)
Main Features:
vB Pager Buddy List ?pop-up? window is used to keep track of the friends you wish to interact with. By going to your "vB Pager Buddies", you'll be able to see which of your friends are currently online and offline, and be able to send them a pager message. Adding people to your buddy list also allow you to send pager messages to multiple forum members at the same time. You may add any member of the forums to your buddy list by clicking the icon next to their names in the vB Pager Online Members Page or Clicking the Manage Buddies Link to add/remove members into your list.
vB Pager Ignore List ?pop-up? window lists are used for those people who's messages you wish not recieve from.
Received Pager Messages are Draggable Inline Popups.
Sending a message opens up a small window where you can type in message to be sent.
Optional Anonymity: you can choose to hide your username when paging another user on the forum, & define which Usergroup can utilize this option.
The window comes in with a built-in character counter to enable the user to keep track of the characters typed.
Logs of all incoming and outgoing pager messages ?Inbox/Sent Items? member has, can be viewed and deleted.
Download Stored Messages as XML, CSV, TXT.
Members can turn the vB Pager Off anytime they wish not to receive pager messages, and they can select the option to receive pager messages from those who are in their Pager Buddy List only.

Several articles have been published about the IE memory leak. One has come to the conclusion that the leak appear when two objects from different worlds (DOM vs Javascript) refer to each other. Here is an example : ......
If you have this code in your page, you will see the corresponding iexplore.exe instance in your task manager increasing memory each time you reload . Here is the leak !
Uae, really nice product...
I have two questions I can not resolve:
1) Is there are way to respond to Pager Messages ? Currently I only see where I can delete them.
2) The chat box dissapears once you send a message. How do you keep it open ?
Thank you,
1) It's either you close the pager message or reply to it, that is a respond!
2) What did you mean by the chat box? is it the whole pager online/buddylist page closing after hitting the send button? or just the send new pager form which should close after sending the message.

I would like something like this to just completely replace the private messaging system. Have it give users the option of whether to use it as an instant messenger type thing or the traditional style of no popup.
Well i have tryed with Sp 2 and it seems to occur from time to time even with Sp2 installed
And there is a Hotfix for Sp2 users too http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../ms05-014.mspx
But it dosent seem to fix this problem
However it dosent crash everytime or even all browsers(users), so im pretty lost at the moment
Hi Uae,
My "beta testers" have been playing with vbpager to try to fix the issues. We love the hack, and are just trying to help here, as always. Thought you might find this interesting:
Quote:
as your senior beta tester I have to let you know, that this update from Microsoft doesn?t work. I downloaded and installed it today, but yet I continue to get kicked out when a pager message shows up. BUT
(I like this part with the but?lol) This being kicked out only happens when I?m on the start page of the forum, or when I try to enter my user CP. When I entered the site and immediately went to a secondary page like NEW POSTS e.g., the pager message opens and I don?t get this error message or the complete shutting down of the IE. It sounds strange, but this problem only persists at the start page of the forum and the USER CP page. Oh and the ?remember me? box was clicked on.
Well, the "start" page that she refers to is on russbo.com, and the vb forum is on russbo.org; different servers. So, I can understand why there are issues. But, the USER CP part is interesting. Don't fully understand that yet.
I've reduced AJAX to the middle level, and people still get the IE crashses. I have now gotten rid of AJAX to see if anything improves.
Hope all is well. Keep up the good work man. Great hack.
