module "Tags" in articles.php?

Hello

Any fix yet for the Attachment ID showing?

The following error: When an CMS article is selected ->

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type vB_Legacy_Thread as array in /usr/www/users/wendag/forum/packages/vbcms/content.php(974) : eval()'d code on line 2

When this mod is active, any idea what can cause this?

Any way we can remove the big space at the top of articles?

Looks like it is caused by the postbit info, since the body of the article shows below the end of the postbit block.

You also have a broken image Dragonsys. I just uninstalled this myself, too bad it's not as bug free as I'd like to see because it's a great idea.

I need something like this and will look at bug fixes. Give me a bit to sort it out.

that is my signature, my personal server crashed, and I just have not gotten it replaced yet.

I'll be watching this, it's exactly what I need too. A couple things I ran into were only one postbit showed the avatars, the postbit spacing and image settings. The image setting changed my entire forum rather than just article images. Comparatively minor template edits I'm guessing but the image settings threw me.

The big space is due to the User Info box on the right extending into the post. I personally wouldn't use it especially with articles. Go to options and turn it all off.

Right, which is what I said about it being the postbit. The Article Postbit looks better for articles and helps them stand out from forum posts (IMHO) and I would rather use it, that space just needs to be removed. It's a matter of fixing the divs, if I get the time I will take a look at the code.
