I installed it, and went straight to the options to pick which forums/boards i wanted it to be applied to.

I changed it from what it was defaulted to, to a board in the staff only section.

Immediately, whenever i tried to open a thread in the boards that used to have the article system, it wouldn't open the thread. (see second picture in attachment.)

Also, across the top of every page there is an error message. (First picture in attachment.)

I realize this is a 3.8 mod, but i just thought I'd let you know what happened when I installed it on a 3.7 board.

Suggestion: An enable/disable option in ACP option.

Latest version has showthread error fixed.

what vb version? do you have empty box or no box at all?

nohuhu · #46 04-19-2009, 05:34 PM

bananalive,

i have the same situation as Sweeks, vb 3.8.2, it shows an empty box.

p.s. downloaded the latest version, still no go with article/comment postbits. default postbit is shown regardless of the settings.

bananalive,

another suggestion: can you add an option to change article author and post date? i have an old forum on phpbb that uses mx_kb mod for knowledge base articles and i would want to move all the stuff from there to the new vbulletin-based forum. i don't want to appear as the only article contributor though.
