Without having access to the site, I doubt I can help unfortunately. If you can narrow it down to a mod that is incompatible, then perhaps I can see how to make it compatible.

Just as a test, set all of the counts for threads and blogs, etc., to 0 and see if it still does it. It shouldn't matter, but just trying to see if its getting hung up in some other way.

As far as the copyright, the ability to move it to the footer is part of the pro version. I will look into possibly making it part of the lite version as well.

Brad

Well, actually that I can do myself I figure it out when I was trying to fix the footer; but if you want to keep it just for those who buy the pro version I'll respect that.

Hello,

Thank you

Can you change the text color (blue, white, red)

[DragonByte Tech]

Colors can be changed via Stylevars, and can be different between the forum and CMS, so be sure to change them in both locations.

Brad

[misericorde]

Thank you Brad.

I want to put more images in this widget (cms). How can I do?

Well now, that's very interesting. Turning it on for forumhome and setting all the counts to 0 stops the eternal loading....and instead gives me a mySQL error.

I can arrange access if you think it would assist.

[DragonByte Tech]

That's weird... That part of the SQL query is related to global ignore of users, but it appears its related to threads instead of blogs. I guess in the time that this has been out, no one using it has been ignoring any users. :| Ok, I know what needs to be done now, so I will get it fixed in the next version. Thanks for finding this!

Placement of the box, as well as text alignment, is a feature in the pro version.

Hello!
I have a problem.

This mode perfectly works on my forumhome, but does not works (even appear) on CMS.
I'm using last vBulletin 4.1.10.

1. I've tried re-install product and re-upload all files, but nothing is changed.
2. I've tried enable\disable jQuery, and change versions of jQuery with no results.
3. I've checked on my custom and Default styles - still nothing.

Please help!
