I am in process of testing this on vb4.1.7 but can you confirm if you have the template edits. Do you see the image or the broken image?

[shabbirbhimani]

The plugin works for me in vB 4.1.7 as well. Do let me know if you have any specific issues on your forum with the plugin and I will be more than happy to have a look.

In the forumdisplay templates edit check if you have the code more than once.

In the mod see the instruction for forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post.

[umusic2000]

I have the same issue as another poster, double avatars. Also some extra code ">.
I tried reinstalling and re-editing the templates. Same results. http://bit.ly/tIIYb0

Nice !

[DaninMS]

Just noticed but did I goof some code up ? I noticed on my sections that the LAST POST BY section on the last thread of a page is bleeding beyond the border.

I'll attach a screenshot.

Figured it out. I had to adjust the last post code px size.
