this isnt working on 4.1.5

K4GAP · #94 08-09-2011, 06:08 AM

Is this working for anyone running 4.1.5 ?

archet1337 · #95 08-09-2011, 02:01 PM

If you scroll 4 posts up, you see it is actually running fine on 4.1.5

Or you can click here for a live demo.

gothicuser · #96 08-12-2011, 05:45 AM

I've been trying to apply this mod now for a few hours. I'm using vB4.1.5 totally clean install, with only a few threads/posts.
All I can get is an error (see screenies below)
Firebug tells me it's not defining

Code:

$(function () {
   $('#js-news').ticker();
  });

Went as far as to re-install vB a couple of times, just to assure myself that it was a clean install.
Any suggestions?

mjfan227 · #97 08-14-2011, 12:06 AM
