...

ok, i'm completely stupid maybe, but as the admin is the one to write rules, why do you add html/smilies etc filters ?!

a simple page with the content of your choice can be parsed with all settings activated, so there is no need to set the smilies or bbcodes on... admins usually have permission to use all these codes anyway, so why add the settings in the Rules edition ?!...

anyway... good idea!

Because sometimes you want to parse HTML, sometimes you don't. Even though you are admin, you should have a choice

Can you explain why when i go to rules.php on my forum all i get is a blank page? I followed all the steps correctly etc and i even tried setting Permissions to 777 still no luck

Crap.. The template did not get included into the XML file... Fixed, please download and reinstall the XML file.

Looks Nice, Less clutter.

Awesome, having a rules page as a hack is much better than creating a custom vB page... Thanks man, I've been looking for this ages ago!

I'm having major problems with this.

For starters, in the read-me section, when you say replace that phrase with this one; how do you do that? All I can do is add a translation of it. I tried checking the vBulleting manual and it re-affirmed that you can't edit that file, so wtf?

Second, my rules.php page now is just a big blank white page with nothing on it. Isn't it supposed to, I dunno, look like the forum?

Help would be appreciated a LOT.

Yes, you add a translation

Make sure you installed the product XML.
