Only thing I can think of is that the phrases may be missing? Did you do the step where you pick any phrase in the phrase manager to edit and then click save?

[drumsy]

Yes, I did, and I've done it again. It didn't work.

If I register at your board will I be able to see the user CP page with the link or are you using a test board?

[noppid]

Well I did try your board. I can not duplicate Clicking on the vbGarage link and another link be highlighted at the same time.

I can however click on a link and while holding the link get it to stay highlighted when I move the mouse away from the area and let go of the click. Then while it's lit I can point at another link and light it.

I used both IE and FF.

I can do this on other vB installs as well, I don't see a problem to be honest.

this is a great hack, thanks.

Is there a way to constrain viewing such that only a certain usergroup can view the garage?

I dont want just anyone viewing the garage, only certain members.

Is that possible?

Yes, there is a "can view vBGarage" Yes/No option in Every Group.

thanks, but isnt that "can use vBGarage"?

Say I have user groups A,B & C

I want user group C to be able to view and use vBGarage, but user groups A and B should not be able to use (create/edit etc) nor view anyone elses vBGarage. I hope this makes sense.

[noppid]

I see what ya want. Currently a group is either in or out and guests are supposed to be out, but they aint. I'm not really sure what's going on.

There is no granular groups by group way to display the garage currently that I can tell.

Anyone getting close to releasing an updated version with multiple cars for registered members? I'm willing to beta test one.

There is an update for 3.0.5 posted a few posts back that was released with Magnus' consent.

I don't know what you mean by users having multiple cars. You can adjust how many cars each member has currently in the ACP. We have ours set to 6 per user of up to 64K each.
