Hello,

i've got a pager message on my vbadvanced index-page and the users avatar was not shown. The images address was www.webgurus.de/customavatars/something.gif but it should be www.webgurus.de/forum/customavatars/something.gif

If you receive pager messages on the vbadvanced page, the users avatar is not shown.

I think its to do with the footer code?

im havin the same problem.............can u give me a list of mod installed? i think it could be because of another hack

[wtrk]

this worked fine for my on my test forum, but when i try it on my life form, the pager window gets an error about the page not being able to load.

The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

i didnt have the www.domain.com

all i had was domain.com

out of no where it fixed it..............

[Zachariah]

- It is good practice to have WWW infront of your domain name.

Works great - thanks!

One thing that might be a nice extra, is for a user to be able to choose whether instead of the message popping up in the middle of the screen, a small tab or button could flash up in the top / bottom corner of the forum (or something like that) and when you click on that the message(s) come up. Just in case users get annoyed at constant popups - rather like a minimising feature i suppose.

Anyway, just a small suggestion, don't know if it's possible or has previously been mentioned. Thanks for this hack!

[SparKeh]

great hack! installed!

however I seem to have a problem. 99% of it work but if I click logout I get a AJAX window coming up asking me to login again. Because its AJAX and not a javascript popup their is no X to close the window I need to close the complete page to get rid of it. Anyway to fix this?

this is an example of what I mean

by the way thanks uae

great hack and thx for your help!

/me clicks install

[solboy]

Nice Hack uae,

I already installed it and it's working perfect.

Few suggestions:

1. Need a default Avatar or a blank space for users without an Avatar.
2. Need a more visiable instant messenger icon in the postbit/post_legecy so users can easily find it.
3. Who's Online members on the forum home: when you click someone a menu appears giving you the option to send them an instant message, add to buddylist, view profile ect.

Excellent hack again
