Banana, any idea on my issue? Every feature in the admincp works fine, and it displays the articles fine, too, but the preview feature does not work. If I keep parse BB code off, it won't show any preview of the article no matter what I set the number to; and when I turn parse BB code on it will display the entire article. It's almost like the preview feature is solely not working for me. Is there any way I can hard-code the preview length into the template itself just so I can have about a paragraph preview? Other than that it's a fantastic mod.

Thank you.

Instructions for upgrading, please...

I've been through a lot with this mod already...and don't want to start again from square one...if you can understand where I'm coming from.

Go to vBulletin Options -> Article forums Options -> Article Preview Length and set it as 20. Does this change anything?

If you are upgrading from v1.8 to v1.9 you only need to import product file.

Otherwise, upload articles.php to forum directory and then import product file.

No, that doesn't change anything. I have set it from 5, 20, 100, 1,000, etc. and no changes to the preview - it will still show NO preview unless I enabled the parse BB code option.

I'm running your latest version, too. All other features work perfectly fine. I do have a custom forum template but only 2 other addons with VBA includes with your module, and a the Who's Online plugin. I have no idea why that one feature doesn't work.

Unfortunately, the update didn't fix this problem. Not sure what I can do, hah. I guess simply hard-coding the preview length into the template would suffice. Any advice on how to do that (I'm a novice here)? Thank you.

Also, a very easy question, I'm sure - how would I change the ...... separators for news feeds with an image (for example, my forum gradient bar)?

Thanks for all your help, banana.

Fantastic!

Some features that would be real handy:

Custom article description.
Custom image selection for thumbnail. Or if it could somehow work with this mod?

Keep up the good work
