Forum Home Enhancements - [DBTech] InfoPanels v2 (vB5) [AJAX]

DragonByte Technologies are proud to present InfoPanels v2: The most feature-packed Welcome Panel system for vBulletin, and the first Welcome Panel system for vBulletin 5!

Why InfoPanels?

Info Panels is another product from DragonByte Technologies, creators of vBActivity and vBShout. Info Panels allows you to display useful and interesting information in a much more user friendly way, allowing your members to access important areas of the forum, and important information, without having to go through different menu screens.

The Welcome Panel displays all the information your users may want to see instantly when they log on, without having to go searching for it. A handy Module format means you don't have to fiddle with complex code in order to drop it on ANY page, you simply use the Site Manager natively in vBulletin 5!

The Top X Stats portion of the software allows your users to keep track of whats going on in the forum almost in real time - perfect for boards with many forums which are hard to keep track of!

point taken.. but it is a live forum so I can' have things running there if they don't work..

The main issue I have is that the entire STATS module takes too much space in at the button of the page. In the old Vbulletin it was just 2 lines below the active users, that was actually perfectly fine.

Seems to be working fine in firefox..

Chrome is reporting:

There is a serious error and the page cannot be rendered

IE is reporting:

The website cannot display the page

I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to. Can you please post some screenshots to point me in the direction of the stats you're referring to?

Thanks,I see the issue is only present when the board is switched off..I think my browser was caching on firefox thats why It worked.
Turning the board on rectifies the problem.Possibly a bug.To reproduce it you need to connect using another device with the board switched off.

I'll have to re-test this with vB 5.0.5 soon, I'm currently rather swamped with other projects

[skol]

Thats the only fault I can find with it..Nice job, thank you.Marked as installed.

This mod is not compality with VBB 5.0.5, update pls.

[DragonByte Tech]

Please have patience while I am currently bogged down with other projects until I have had a chance to update the vB5 mods to 5.0.5. Thank you

The newest reply is on Oct 13 for topic A but the static always dispalys the newest reply in on Oct 8 (the date that I install the mod). No problem with the catch because I test on different computer.

Is that something you can replicate with all topics, or just one?
