What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

Hmmm, do you do email activation on your forum? If so try and set it to do it after that and see if it works.

[tanzeelniazi]

I already install Mod Activation Email https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=294164

Before mod is working fine but when i install another XML you post in https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=137
after Mod is not working any other idea

[ozzy47]

Not sure, I'll have to check it out on a test site when I get a chance.

I installed, no errors but for some reason, many of the threads created are not showing the username as requested in your Title and Message Settings admin section.

you can see what I mean by looking in this forum
http://www.diablosanctuary.com/forum...-Introductions

any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appriciated

[ozzy47]

Yeah that is something that is known, try the following XML, it should stop that.

[tomshawk]

Sorry to bother you with something you already know about.
I should have read through this thread more carefully.

Thank you. Installed new one, we'll see

[ozzy47]

No it's no bother at all. I have had two members testing out the new XML and so far so good.

I just want to be sure it is working right before doing a proper update.

Thanks for marking as installed.

[tomshawk]

Good news, so far so good.

New posts have usernames so far.

Again, thank you

I just want to update you ozzy that since adding the new xml file I have had ZERO no name threads, so everything is working fine for me still.
