And since 2.2 (not 2.3) there is another Bug allways using / for redirector.php.

There are Boards like mine where vBa is at /index.php and Forums at /forum/index.php so redirector has to be at /forum/redirector.php even at vBa.

Please fix it.

1./ Flagged for next version.
2./ What is the behaviour in 2.3?

Then you don't need to do anything.

1. Ehmm ... why didn?t you just upload a corrected 2.3 Package? Who long will it take this Time? Months again?

2. I guess the same - but i can?t checke because of Problem Nr. 1!

Best thing you can do - i have written him a PM because of the vBa Problem and he replies to me that a Fix has to wait because "it is only a Phrase" .... i am not sure if he knows what he does.

1. The vBa Bug was at 1.0 - after that he fixed it weeks later at 2.2 because he dont know what vBa was before. Now its the same Bug again at 2.3.

2. The Redirectproblem because of /portal.php and /forum/index.php is something i have to fix at every Version on my own.
Search for redirector.php and add your complete Path before it at Product. Something he can do by AdminCP Option - but he dont.

3. The Phrase "Visiting Link" was never fixed at every earlier Version.

The only thing i can see at 2.3 is that there are no new Features or Bugfixes - only old Bugs again .... and he still thinks vBa is a Phrase...........

But you can use Version 2.2 if you change the Path if you have moved vBa to / and Forums to /forum.

2./ Stop blaming me for everything. Just because it isn't compatible with another hack.
3./ This was 'And you forgot to Phrase : "Visiting Link" at Product.'

Thx - now it definitely works fine.

Finally, a conclusion .

[treasureman]

Hi Dismounted,

Love this hack.

However there seems to be a problem in the 2.4 (2.3 also) that wasn't in 2.2

When a user clicks on the redirected link (rather than waiting for the seconds to elapse) they are redirected back to my forum main page rather than the redirected site.

It does work properly if they let the seconds elapse, but not if they are impatient and click the link.

Any ideas? I am running VBSEO if that matters, but 2.2 worked fine with VBSEO and did not have this problem.

I'll have a look into the issue, I think it may have something to do with me cleaning up my code.
