Did you try, uninstalling both, and reinstalling the new one, with its new files uploaded?

R-D if you are very curios about why, is because some after some people having problems with the one I installed on my site, I went over and exported the actual one that I have on my site wich had that link, theres no more sale for that product so I could care less about a promotional link there.
Instead because of you I added now a credit link (wich is allowed), for a bit of appreciation of our work so make sure you add it if you use the product, thanx.

well.. All i did was upload the new files to the ftp and imported the xml, after i did that, the old xml wasn't overwrite, so i had, 2 xml for gift, and when i looked at the profile, all my gifts was repeated twice, and the category didn't show all the gifts i have, only 20 of them.

I restored my forum with a recent back up though :3

One thing I did that may help you lady. Rather than have a lot of gifts in one category, or a few categories. I created a lot of categories with about 5 or so gifts in each. Everything is working fine for me. My users are in love with the gifts mod.
My categories: animals, artist, balloons, drinks, evil, flowers, food, love, musical, sexy.

Has anyone tried an animated gif?

A changelog would be nice.

It should be put on top of the tabs man, somebody already said that. Is not intended to be inside the tabs anyway

To fix this, open gifts.php in your forum root and search for

		$pm->set_recipients($recipient['username'], $do);

and replace with

		$pm->set_recipients(html_entity_decode($recipient['username']), $doit);

I also modified it an integrated with vbookie so members buy the gifts as opposed to just give them out for free. Probably easy to do this with any other cash system which has a column off the user table.

[TNCclubman]

Is vbcredits the number 1 cash system for vb? How about making it work for that? vbookie doesnt work for vb 3.7

I downloaded version 1.0 (same as above last week... But has the file been re-uploaded with changes since then?
