You should continue to relcieve notifications after first time from reply as long as user doesn't post again and again in a row.

Nice update (I think). Some things I've noticed though.

Your manual needs fixed - the replacement code for both the
disable_vb_default_settings and disable_vb_default_profile contains errors, also at the beginning it says 'Add after:' {vb:raw livenotifications_header} - add what after?

Took me a while to get it working with my 'Seamus' theme, I had to rework the header and comment tons of stuff out - the welcome text, username and logout links were all still showing, also I completely disabled the notification header for guests as it was showing error in the login/register area (see image).

DBtech's Thanks/Likes don't show up either. I've not tried out all of the other stuff yet.

ln_reputation seems to have been missed in cache_templates

Fantastic dave.

Do you have the ultimate version up and running on a demo forum, if so, no errors? Everything working smoothly.

A nice demo version here:

Gemma,

*Manual is still underworks. Though for the most part, only needed if someone has a heavily modified theme. The auto-install has been working for most themes. Will be out soon though of course.

*Login glitch - Does this occur with your default theme - or is that just for that custom theme. Can't replicate that atm.

*DBtech thanks/likes - will need to check into it. We've been testing with their lite vers. Can someone send a pro version to support@vbsocial.com. Also just an FYI, there is a built-in thanks system that works with notifications sys. in vB7 Notifications Ult.

Demo: http://vbsocial.com/forum/forum.php

pass: test
( no modifications made on demo)

Just on my custom theme, but the default theme doesn't align properly either, I've not looked but the css probably needs adjusted.
