Hi everyone. This thing is great! I have one problem with it though. For some reason, if I click the link to go to the inbox the pager window redirects to my homepage after the inbox loads. My forum is in my site's root folder. Anyone got any ideas as to why and (hopefully) a fix?

No one seems to get the pages that are sent after the original page. I upgraded to 3.04 and redid all the edits. Same thing.

Must be another hack I've done as it was working fine. Well I've disabled every hack one at a time with no change in the pager.

I'm lost at this point.

It appears to be an issue with Firefox 1.5 Both PC and MAC. You can send an original page you just can't reply to a page and it brings your back to the main page.

It's working in Opera on a MAC but the popup window appears at the bottom of the page and you really don't know it's there unless you scroll down to see it.

It seems to be working fine in IE on a PC.

I use FireFox 1.5 on a PC and I have absolutley o problems with this hack except for the pop up telling me to upgrade my Quicktime which I do not want to do as I need Quicktime 6 for cutting GIFs in Adobe ImageReady.

I this is a client side issue, not a browser side issue.

I believe it might be setting off an active x alert for IE users on my site.

That's just it, I've been running this on FF 1.5 for months without issues and all of a sudden it's got issues. I was running version 3.1 and happy with it and didn't upgrade to 3.4 because I was happy. I only upgraded after it started having problems. Which is why I thought it was probably another hack I had done but that proved to be wrong.

The fact it's working on Opera (somewhat) and on IE but not FF, lead me that direction. Whatever it is, it just started and upgrading made no difference.

The text box that shows the # of characters left is seemingly the issue as best I can tell. In IE and Opera and used to in FF, those characters would count down as you typed to show what you had left. Now in FF, they stay constant even though it will take what you type in the box. It won't send it though. Once you hit send, your screen refreshes and the same pager message you received is back again and the person you replied to will not receive anything.

This is what FF is telling me.

If I'm in a sub board I get this.

Error: document.frmpager has no properties

or if I'm in the home page.

I love this hack uae. The updated version seems to work perfect on my site nad users rant and rave about the hack.

Just one thing, why call it vB Pager. Why not vB Instant Messanger? I changed the phrases to say instant messages rather then pager messages.

The name vB Pager has some story behind it

Also in admincp in usergroups when you set your setting for vbpager the block text is empty only Yes/No options no questions showing?
