What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified by us whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

We appreciate the support!

bump ver. 2.0...............

[DragonByte Tech]

Please do not bump this thread, I will address it as soon as I have anything to add that will help you.

Please refrain from bumping threads in the future as it will generally serve as an annoyance that will further delay a helpful response.

Whats annoying is it being ignored until you have helpful response, logic dictates a response so i know you have seen it, otherwise i have no idea.

Even if I hadn't seen it - if DBTech was a one-man studio and I was away on holiday, for instance, and returned 7 days later with a post + 7 bump posts - what good would the bumps have done?

If we had a set schedule for checking vBulletin.org threads, and didn't have email alerts on replies enabled, what good would the bumps have done?

Don't get me wrong, I do understand that you want your post addressed, but I don't understand why anyone would bump a vBulletin.org support thread.
From my point of view, someone bumping a support thread for a free modification - especially when we have repeatedly stated, and state in the OP of every mod, that using our forums is the best way to get quick support - is someone demanding their issue looked at A.S.A.P. because their issue is more important than whatever I am doing that day / that hour.

I meant no offense with my previous post, or with this post, I'm simply trying to foster an understanding between our two different point of views

We prefer support threads in our own support forums for multiple reasons:
a) Multiple threads is easier to deal with than a single thread
b) We have vastly superior notification & tracking capabilities
c) We have AJAX reloading of the forum list that reflects new posts

In short, it's vastly easier to provide support on our own forums - for that reason, vBulletin.org threads get put on the back-burner and I tend to clean them up once every couple of days or whenever I'm finished with my work at a time that's not 3AM

does this have any known conflicts with other plugin's?....I keep getting an 500 internal server/mis-configuration issues when going into DBTech- user status section in ACP...I know its not a memory issue as I have 256m php limit. This is the only menu item that gives me this error.

using vb4.2.1

Please check your Apache's error_log - this is most commonly found in /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log although it can vary by system.

Is there a way to let the mood & status view in Postbit display below the avatar?
