Yeah but that is very old mod, made for vB 3.6.x and i was just suggesting Psionic Vision because he`s a better coder to maybe think about integrating this feature in this mod or make another one 10x

Where is this code and what needs to be changed? I'm also getting this option on 3.8.3.

[christon26]

Hi! I installed this mod...then changed something in my usercp options, I got this error message which didn't happen after disabling the product to test:

warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/class_core.php on line 1773

Line 1773 reads:

		foreach ($variables AS $varname => $vartype)

Any ideas on how to fix? I'd love to use this mod lol

Released version 1.3.2 that fixed the above bugs.
