Thanks

There's one thing not working: the ordered list isn't showing. When I add the code for the ordered listing, after submitting this listing, it doesn't show. But I see in this topic that this problem has already been submitted weeks ago.

Does this work with other people? I think it's an important part of showing the rules, since this is basically always a sorted list?

Hi,

Strangly I as admin see the rules... but I can't accept them. Other users don;t even see the rules, let alone to accept them .

Why is this.. ? Any idea.. I logged in as a user, clicked on the forum rules and the page did not display the accept rules page and also didn't show the rules... but when I look at users profile, you can see that see didn;t accept the forum rules.. So strange .

Should I reinstall this .. ? or.. ?

Thanks.

It's nice to be able to tag someone and say "You broke rule number X". Right now neither BBcode nor HTML will put numbers in front of text.

This isn't a problem with Valter's mod, since it happens on two other mods I wanted to install plus a custom static page I created myself. I don't know the solution but the problem is with the vBulletin 4.x code or CSS, which effectively cripples certain features including ordred or unordered lists.

Whether this is a bug or by design isn't clear, although if the latter I cannot understand the rationale for disabling certain BBCode or HTML features.

How did you do this?

Hi,

I have installed this and no problems, but I am not able to get the users to see the accept forum rules button... I have checked this also with another nick, but still it only shows, user has not accepted the forum rules...

Even when I click on the forum rules link, I just see the link, but nothing to accept the forum rules, is this correct ???

Thanks.

p.s. I have also done a full reset, sothat everybody needs to accept it again, but this also didn't work. Any clue ?
