Hi!

First thanks for this add-on, its very helpful...

There is a problem when i try to check the versions of my installed add-ons, i get an "error" message in the newest version field when i check the version of the vbulletin guestbook by hasan. But the version checking url is correct:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/misc.php?...book_by_hasann

and it returns version 2.2. Does someone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance for an reply.

Thanks, however it would be nice to see an official update from the author too. I use this all the time to easily find when there is an updated mod.

Doctor Death · #60 01-05-2010, 05:40 PM
