[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.

***** 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.
would love to help you but i have about 14 styles give or take 3( i am not going to count them) and I have NEVER had this problem lol.
double check your edits and make sure that your permissions are right....?? make sure all the gifs are in the right spot...
not trying to belittle you....i did have problems getting it work in the start and these are steps i had to take. just offering up what i did.
That's good to know. Up til' now you're the first person to even say a peep otherwise about my question I'll take a look at everything again, it's just strange that it works but not accross styles.
Not yet....... I've been busy all night with "off hours" Change Requests" from my job Hopefully later I can backtrack all the steps. However, I'm not too optimistic, it didn't seem that difficult of a hack and it is working just not between styles.
did anybody figure out why its crashing IE? our members loved this hack but i had to disable it because of the crashes...... its a shame, please let me know if there is a fix for that..

i use IE 6, my explorer only crashes when i log in and recieve a page, that a user had send to me when i was offline, the pager box will popup and then my explorer crashes. i had heard that other users in this forum had the same problem.
