Although we are still using vB4, we switched to vBLink a while ago and pretty much satisfied. They list vB5 as a supported version. Maybe you consider it as an alternative.

Thanks, Sorry for the late reply as I've just been able to get back to this today. I tried reinstating vBSSO and logging in using my personal admin account and everything worked just fine. So I'm at a loss as to what the heck had happened before. I'm guessing that possibly it had to do with the client changing his email in the middle of everything which I did not find out right away.

The only issue I seem to have now if when I clicked on the link to download the log file I got a nice pretty white page inside my vBulletin frame in the admin panel. Not sure what happened with that at all. Possibly it has to do with the PHP zip installation?

Thanks guys for being patient with me to get this thing resolved.

EDIT: I had it set up to send the log to my email account. Maybe its supposed to do that and not give you an actual file to download? If so, there were errors where do I need to send that please?

xeagle,

We had a report that in ulpoad/vbsso/includes/vbsso_shared.php at line 90 might be requiring external content. Please check, and if true, edit the mod settings and enable the "External Content" flag.

If it isn't external content, please confirm here.

Thank you for your attention to this.
