ok just uploaded Moderator Application to my twilight forum and it works nicely also installed on forums.mysite.com
its vbulletin 3.8.2

so the reason this is not working on the first forum i tried is because its version 3.8.3 maybe?
i cant think of any other reason.
also 3.8.2 is not much different than 3.8.3 i thought.

It's not, so it should work. I'm not sure why it isn't. I'm using 3.8.3

The only other thing I can think of is to ensure all the email options are correct in AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Email Options. Other than that, I have no idea

No problem. As for creating a new thread/poll, I'm unsure on how to do that, but I WILL look into it
