i checked both image verification options (user registration) and image verification hack.., but i dont see it on your hack... my usergroup permissions are set right... the options are all set right.... dont know what the problem is...

[stonyarc]

Did you set all the vbulletin options of the app?

Do you get an error? Did you add the navbar template change?

[TheBlackPoet]

You have a testuser for me so I can see the actual error?

That's probably a vbulletin error

Are you sure the verification settings are correct and the usergroups.

You must avoid guest being allowed to enter twits as it's linked to the userid.


Can view the vbnow application (advice YES for all usergroups except banned)

Can add posts the vbnow application (NO for guest, YES for other usergroups)

Can edit entries on the vbnow application (YES for moderator and administrator, NO for all the rest, this will allow all entries to be edited)

Can delete entries on the vbnow application (YES for moderator and administrator, NO for all the rest, this will allow all entries to be deleted)

Can edit own entries on the vbnow application (YES for all usergroups that have ADD permissions or own preference)

Can delete own entries on the vbnow application (YES for all usergroups that have ADD permissions or own preference)


Also the image verification in vbulletin options may be correct but an image is only loaded if there is a user logged in in the vbnow application or forum



The image settings are located in options / user registration and image settings.

Did you edit templates ? As it's almost like he's just not loading the image check template.

I cannot simulate that error except when I mess with the template or the template call.

Please upload all original files and revert the templates before uploading the products again.

$_REQUEST['page']; isn't sanitized allowing XSS attacks
