<li><a href="private.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" style="color: #000;">Private Messages</a></li>

I tried it because i had the same problem but with all my links (all where invisible) and after that only private meassages are shown without mouse over!!!

Ok i fix it i don't know why , i had it twice and i had to put it twice!!!

But in your previous version as admin could see my admincp , can we add it now , it was very good to be possible for me and mods to connect through your mod!!!!

ViciousCode · #35 01-23-2010, 11:49 AM

Yep get this in IE7 here as well, works fine in IE8 and FF though, but a lot of our users use IE7 still

Alex@Mk3OC · #38 01-23-2010, 02:24 PM

Also just fyi I added the code that was supposed to go in vbulletin.css into my additional.css (lynne's mod) and it works fine. Only did it as it meant it was one less template I'd need to worry about when i update vBulletin

Same answer here, i think that we make it not only for us but for our users only and should be good functioning for everyone, it's not everyone advanced internet user....
So can we fix it?

Also what i have to add in order to have (only for admins and moderators) the admincp and modcp?

I agree this needs to work in IE7 at the very least as it is still a widely used browser, hopefully the author can fix this for us, otherwise I'll have to uninstall it

Having the modcp/admincp link display is a good idea

What a stupid question, with around 50% of users still on IE and a decent % of them on IE7 or less we need to support it.

It's not the administrators this mod is for, it's for everyone who takes the time to register with us.

I can't beleive you didn't bother to test your code in IE6/7... makes me wonder what other browsers you didn't test.

Safari?
Chrome?
Opera?

Also I beleive the white links are coming from the styleVars (mine were).
