The last 2.01 version runs strong so I think I would be the best to stay by this release for the time being. What do you think?

On first released I was used XML file for bitfield but I think this may less slow down the process and need to external files of course, while I ever try to develop plug-ins without need to caused travail of the user (webmaster) so I think when we obtain easy qualification to tap resources, it's can boost to them.
Beside, the products should at least without palpable problems and bugs, hence we must try to produce products without these clear problems.

When I disregard the details, I would from you to post that just error message to this thread, than I scrutiny that and symptom of it so I will may figure out that problem.

Finally, note that I never see any "collision error message" about bitfields, thus I can't induct this issue, so exhibit exact error message, may aid me to well untie that error.

Meanwhile are you sure you have deleted /includes/xml/bitfield_quickeditor_improver.xml? It's maybe that problem depend on!

Thank you.

Yep as I said: Sometimes it works and sometimes not. Also I found another strange thing inside the Usergroup Permissions: Please follow all permission boxes and you will see, that all permissions Buttons "() Yes () No" are kinda displaced with the permissions buttons of your current 2.51 version. This means that your permission Buttons are kinda displaced to the left side than others. It's just a small bug but I'm sure that has something to do with your Plugin "Quick Editor Usergroup Settings" in using the Hook "admin_usergroup_edit"! After installing the newest 2.51 version I noticed that some Setting Options are totally moved to the left side. The descriptions for the "Visible Buttons" on the right side does not fit anymore which results a Linefeed in some options which have not been before by using the same Phrases in German. After I deinstalled this version by installing the previous 2.01 and it works perfect

Right now I'm working to rewrite your AddOn with the Standard Usergroup Permissions via external XML File. And it seems that it works now as it should be without any getting displaced options. If you want I can upload a Snapshot so you can see about what I'm talking from

Incredible - well done and I must say this would have to be a very professional mod for vbulletin - can't wait till be able to have an ability to add/manage attachments included in this.

One question, I have added a custom bbcode and it has made the editor box a bit larger then I would like especiallu using a left column of vBadvanced. Is there any way to force the extra icon to appear on the 2nd row of buttons in the editor tool bar - thanks!

Thank you. You have indulgence to me

Working on new version that contains attachmenet possibility is done and I now testing it for release and as soon as possible I will release it.

For you have asked, I can say when Visible Font, Visible Size, Visible Alignment and Visible Visible List are checked in vBulletin Options, as automatically the editor buttons will show on 2 rows, but I don't think it's whom you would, but if you give me snapshot from your screen that discussion around it, may help me to more appreciate your purpose.
