Everything looks fine... can't see anything wrong off-hand that'd mess up the template replacement. If you want to set up an admin login for me, I can troubleshoot it for you.

I send you Private Messages

Any progress on figuring out how to make it to the top of the stack on windows and content?

I'm getting the database error too. So it doesn't install. Would be a cool add-on though.

The table prefixes issue was fixed. What's the exact error you're getting?

[Bflat5]

Here's the error I'm getting.

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `kirky_splash` VARCHAR( 1500 ) NOT NULL;

MySQL Error : Too big column length for column 'kirky_splash' (max = 255). Use BLOB instead

No, you can't use BBCode; use HTML instead.

Is there a way this could be reconfigured to where...

A) Only guests can see it?...and...

B) Instead of a warning, make it something like "Thank you for entering this thread, We'd like you to register and join our conversation." and then they don't see it again when they close it?
