Apologises, I misread your message. If you reject a challenge, then your opponent won't receive a PM.

Too bad, is it possible to set it up?

A bug in your code that prevents access to the member profile pages.

In the file includes/functions_tal.php you have the following code:

if (!in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('ladders', 'competitors', 'tournaments', 'teams')) && !$vbulletin)
{
	global $vbulletin;
	print_r("<!-- Non-standard page, trying global vbulletin variable -->\r\n");
}
if (!$vbulletin->options['tmnt_active'] && $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] != 6)
{
	print_r("<!-- vBulletin Tournaments &amp; Ladders disabled in AdminCP -->\r\n");
	print_no_permission();
}

If the tournament mod isn't active then memberinfo.php is not accessible to non-admins. The code should be changed by having the second if statement nested inside the first, so the tournament mod active check only executes on tournament mod specific pages.

global $vbulletin; //just globalize no need to test if it exists you don't gain anything
if (in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('ladders', 'competitors', 'tournaments', 'teams')))
{
	print_r("<!-- Non-standard page, trying global vbulletin variable -->\r\n");
	if (!$vbulletin->options['tmnt_active'] && $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] != 6)
	{
		print_r("<!-- vBulletin Tournaments &amp; Ladders disabled in AdminCP -->\r\n");
		print_no_permission();
	}
}

This way if you are on a tournament specific page and the tournament mod is disabled you won't be able to access it unless you are an admin. This also makes sure that the member profile page (since includes/functions_tal.php is included in the User Profile Tab (member_complete hook) plugin is accessible even if the tournament mod is inactive.

It's not letting me add the files onto our server, any reason why?

Ok I got these messages:

Strict Standards: Only variables should be assigned by reference in /public_html/forums/teams.php on line 88
Strict Standards: Only variables should be assigned by reference in /public_html/forums/tournaments.php on line 112

I am aware of the php 5.4/5.5 changes and already have these hidden with the aforementioned hiding code in the inlcude/config.php file. However these errors are still showing any help will be appreciated

Not sure on the second error but the first one is fixed by this:

Try changing line 88 in /teams.php

$actiontemplates['none'] =& array_merge($actiontemplates['teams'], $actiontemplates['viewteam']);

To

$actiontemplates['none'] = array_merge($actiontemplates['teams'], $actiontemplates['viewteam']);

"Can view Tournaments" option on the usergroup, if set to "No" will lock the usergroup out from accessing any member.php (member profile) page including theirs.

Plugin disabled until this is fixed....

You can try the fix I posted a few posts above yours (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=2243) and see if that solves your problem for you.

Change line 1168 as follows:

Original:

$userhtml = preg_replace('|\{([a-zA-Z0-9_-]*)\}|e', ' $userinfo["$1"] ', $vbulletin->options['tmnt_userhtml']);

New Version:

$userhtml = preg_replace_callback('|\{([a-zA-Z0-9_-]*)\}', function($m){return $userinfo[$m[1]];}, $vbulletin->options['tmnt_userhtml']);
