ive installed,
i also see the "Quick Links" menu in the navbar, so where does a user press to get the app going?
i can see its there, but theres no way we can click it lololol
its also looks a darker color to the rest of the links in there too

so any ideas why its a solid link thats un-clickable???

The 'purchase branding free option' takes you to a page that forces you to register to see the contents... I'm sure this is an error and not intentionally forcing new signups, yes?

i just re-started from beginning, and it went in the second time thanks
also the emails work perfect ( i use msn hotmail ), so no problems there thanks

im now interested in this post to make extra job apps :-
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=221

but where is :-
staff_app (x2)

im new to this, so laymen terms please, and is there a certain line i need to add it below??
all help on this would be great, i just want a position that gives users a rank that want to be staff, and they can be picked for staff in the future depending on the way they perform in the forums

i think there should be an option to turn these 4 items off, as they can be not needed really
also users dont want this info posted to public :-
E-mail:
Phone Number:
IP Address:
Host:

Hi. I really want to use this for my site however I am trying to use this so people can apply for membership for my community and therefore I would want/need to change some of the questions the thing asks. Example; I don't need the parts that ask for like "What are your forum skills" or "Do you know the backend to vbulletin."

Is there any way to customize what kind of questions to ask?

And I am not really heavy into coding so if it involves like mass coding or changes then I can't do it

Thanks for your help!

That is just for changing the actual positions people are applying for.

I tried editing the staffapp.php form and also the template and when I saved it and refreshed the page; no changes occured.

Yes; this mod would be used a lot if it could be easily configured and changed. Maybe his next version possibly? I hope so ^^
