Quick question:

I currently have version 2.0.3 installed and in this new 2.1.0 you say all template edits are eliminated... What template edits were there in 2.0.3?? Any other than adding the link to navbar?? I need to know this..

Thanks.

The link in the navbar was added, but there was also a replacement in register_rules.

The only option I have available is the vbRules that's listed with the vb options. I've checked to make sure the xml file got copied to my server, and it's there.

Thanks

EDIT: Nevermind... I got it working... It was my own mistake. nothing on your part.

How did you get it working? I'm having the same problem.

D'oh! Uploaded to the wrong folder... Got it.

Since I don't use the standard nav bar on my site, I have a left side menu and would like to add this to that. I figured out this myself but for those that need more info,
The name where you have to direct it is www.yoursitename.com/forum/rules.php Thanks for the hack, this will be a good way to direct people that seem to break the rules and dont remember them.

I feel like I should know this, but I can't find the phrase or the link in the navbar template that links to the rules, I use vBadvanced, so on my "index" which isn't contained in my /forums directory I'm getting a link that doesn't exist. IE: http://www.grievous.us/rules.php instead of http://www.grievous.us/forums/rules.php. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm having an odd problem where the first set of rules are the only ones taking BBCode. I have the rest set as BBCode on, but it doesn't parse correctly.
