Try removing:

 background="{headbackground}"

From the home_shoutbox and home_postshout templates.

[Leo Wyatt]

Hey NTLDR, thanks for the reply.
I've removed it from both of them, and I'm still having the exact same problem =X

the only black colour on that scheme's my black border, could the tables be clashing somewhere? Btw, I also just added the poll and realised the that bottom part of that [the one that holds Votes # %]'s also black Any other ideas?

[Leo Wyatt]

Just checked, it *does* take the border colour, when I changed the border to white, it changed also. Why though? =s

[NTLDR]

Add one of the following to the <td> in the template thats causing it, ie in the home_postshout and home_shoutbox templates for the shoutbox, you need to replace {catbg} with the replacement for the category background colour, I don't use vB2 and can't rememer what its called

bgcolor="{catbg}"

or

style="background-color: {catbg}"

The poll wasn't designed to allow guest voting, however if you remove the following line from vbindex.php then guests should be allowed to vote if they have permission:

PHP Code:

 or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0

Hi
Now Im getting the "You have already voted" but in the forum it working fine for guests.

[afterglow]

i try to install this hack but for some reasons i can't get past Step 7. I get a page error. any ideas what i left out? i doubled check everything and uploaded the files into the right folders but still get this error. I deleted the tables and redo the install but still i'm stranded at Step 7 during installation. Please, tell me how to fix this.

The code in step 7 is from a rather old version of vBulletin (probably 2.2.4 or around then) so its posible the code has changed in 2.3.x.

Any fix for the above problem? I have tried changing the permission settings too but nothing works...
