Replace your current flash code (all of it) with this code:

<object data="LINK_TO_YOUR_SWF_FILE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="700" height="270" id="head" ><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="movie" value="LINK_TO_YOUR_SWF_FILE" /></object>

Remember to replace LINK_TO_YOUR_SWF_FILE with your actual link to your .swf file. Dont worry about the embedded code, just use this. Enjoy.

Hi, all

I found a "bug"!

the code (footer template)

<!-- [START HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.3' CHANGEID= 5 ] -->
		$pagermessage
<!-- [END HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.3' CHANGEID= 5 ] -->

must be replaced

<!-- [START HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.3' CHANGEID= 5 ] -->
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[pageroption]">
		$pagermessage
</if>
<!-- [END HACK='vB Pager' AUTHOR='UAEWEB.COM' VERSION='3.0.3' CHANGEID= 5 ] -->

this prevents a unnecessary loss of the traffic with DialUp connection


Russian:

сорри братва, я по фиглишу не умею... по русски:

получилась трабла что некоторые юзеры просто так теряли трафик даже при отключенном крыжике в опциях юзера (сидя на платном диалапе это плохо)... один фиг делались запросы на сервак... и я придумал деактивировать инициализацию скрипта... целых 5 минут думал

короче если тут кто знает русский плиз переведите это всё... спасибо

***** Monthly unanswered question for supported hack ****

Does anyone have an answer yet as to why the pager doesn't work accross styles?? If you send a page to someone who is on a different style then you they will not get it. Huge shortcoming to the hack.

This is a major flaw that I can't believe nobody has worried about yet. Because of this you have no idea if your message ever was recieved.
