I'm still alive. Summer time means I'm usually out & about with family and tending to the home. Even gingers like myself enjoy some sunlight from time to time.

As an update, I do have a valid license now (and a much lighter wallet; thank you Jelsoft).

I'll update as I make some more progress on this. It's (obviously) a complete rewrite so it will take some time. Until then, you can keep up with me on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/OneCoolMofo) or my web site (http://www.digitaldeviation.com). I know there was one person who emailed me a couple times (not sure of his forum name). Sorry for the lack of response there. Hopefully this answers your question.

[ChaFF]

how many people are waiting for an update?

[Mr Peabody]

I sent a message with an offer of a donation with no reply.
The donation button on the first post doesn't work for me either.

3) Find the line that reads:

chdir('/path/to/forums/'); <-------WRONG!!

change this to the path to your forum on your server and then save



Wrong chdir is not the area you change. I wasted 3 hours on that bad info.

When I click the banner, I am getting the following messge...

Redirecting...


Could not find phrase ' '.

Click here if your browser does not automatically redirect you.

But then it redirects ok...anyone know what could be causing the Could not find phrase message?

Also, I am not seeing the vbsponsors manager on the left menus in admin cp.

This is what I have been looking for a very long time! Is this working with the latest version of vb 3.8?
