I've got a birthday showing on the forum homepage - it shows the age and all... there is no birthday post - doesn't appear to work.

After installing a fresh version of vbulletin 3.8.1, I tried installing this mod, but it does not work. I've been using this mod ever since vBulletin 3.6.8, and it's worked great. not sure what happened with the 3.8.x version? I've uninstalled and marked it until it's fixed.

Marking as uninstalled also! I'm using 3.7.4 - it doesnt work on it either!

I understand that Cyb has to support many mods - I just wish he'd support this one. It's obvious that the issues with this mod are not just a fluke, and only happening to one or two people. Where are you Cyb?

UPDATE:
Cyb's last activity in this thread was back on 08/30/2008. I think it's safe to say that this mod is not supported.

Yet he spams this product in other similar product threads claiming it is supported! LOL

Hi,

Is ther a way that the users that have a color in my forum when the birhday post congratulate them in the post appears the username with the color and not with the code and then the username ??

Thank you!

Ensure that exclusion options are not affecting that. Depending on settings product may not create threads for users with post count less than X, or inactive members.

Hi Cyber,

Mmm please see this post and you will see what I am talking about:

http://www.all-reefs.com/inicio/showthread.php?t=6346

The problem is the users that are in a group that the usernames appears with color in the forum, like my moderators appears in red, in the greeting post instead of appears the username with the color appears with the code to put it in color.

Example in the post of the link:

-[color= pink]Carlos Flores[/color]

Instead of

Carlos Flores

Help to fix that.

Remove spaces from opening HTML tags in usergroup settings.

Hi again dear master Cybernetec,

<span style="font-weight: bold; font: 22px verdana; color: pink;">

Which spaces I have to eliminate to get this works ?

Thanx!!
