Psionic Vision, I could kiss you right about now. Thanks so much for updating this mod!

Sorry for the double post, but I wasn't sure if the thread would mark itself unread to anyone if I just edited my last post.

I'm getting ready to update my forum to VB4, so I'll be installing this mod. I assume I need to uninstall the 3.8 mod from my forum, run the VB4 update, and install the 4.0 mod on my new 4.0 forum. But, I was looking at the 3.8 mod, and it looks like it's going to delete necessary database data if I uninstall it, forcing my members to start linking their accounts all over again when the 4.0 mod is installed. Is there a way to uninstall the old mod without deleting what MySQL needs to link the accounts? Thanks!

sorry m8

i installed this and it didnt work for me in vb4.0.4

i had another mod [evi-tab] installed and thought that would be the cause for not wrking but i disablled that mod uninstalled yours and reinstalled it and it still isnt working.

I just upgraded my test forum to 4.0.4 PL1 and installed it, and it seems to be working fine. My test forum is completely clean; no custom mods or skins whatsoever.

For what it's worth, I installed this on VB 4.0.5, and I had to change line 40 in qas.php from:

PHP Code:

      print_cp_redirect('Location: user.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . 'do=finduser'); 


To:

PHP Code:

        print_cp_redirect('Location:user.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . 'do=finduser'); 


Odd issue. Don't know if it's my Apache, or the VB version.

Mind telling me what it was doing wrong before you made this code edit? I'm going to update to VB4 soon; I want to use the latest version if it's completely compatible with the mod.
