thanks

I uninstalled this MOD. It does work as advertised but it seems to pick and choose what template styles it works with and no one seems to have an answer. To bad, it could have been a perfect mod. Thanks for your efforts.

This would be a good idea.


I have a question though, with the random questions - are the answers case-sensitive?
I.e:
"What is the capital of France?"
Answer: Paris

Does it have to be capitalised (Paris) or is lowercase fine (paris)?

Okay folks I am back. If I am anything I am persistent. If I can't get an answer I will figure it out myself.
Here it goes. Some of you have been complaining that your "Invite Friends" aren't showing in your navbar. I had the same problem. So I did some digging. The default style navbar is located just before the forums start. Some styles the navbar is closer to the header. Now I have about 8 different styles and all but 3 didn't show the "Invite Friends" What I found out was that the header held all the navbar commands. So select edit styles and then edit header and add this line between the FAQ and COMMUNITY buttons. Try it. It worked for me.

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="misc.php?do=cybareginv">$vbphrase[cybareg_invitation_invite]</a></td>

Oh and make sure you copy the template to a text file in case you screw it up.

I hope this answers a lot of questions.

I want to apologize for being so profoundly negative. But I had to uninstall this MOD. It has to many quirks. However I do believe the designer will write a new one that is perfect in every way. I think the premise is a good one and should be pursued. Sorry.

Hi guys!
Tnx a lot for this add-on, I'm using it for a few months and... it's fantasti

little question:
Is there a way to permit, users, to see the referent of a new member?
Can be added, in someway, in profile's details "invited by..." ?

Tnx a lot

Anyone know how to make this work for 4.0?

[DangerousDale]

Thanks man, working perfect. Just what I needed!

[GeorgeB85]

I really like this modification and I use it for my forums...I was just wondering when the mod might be upgraded to utilize 4.0 forums?

[Namaless]

Any news for upgrade to vBulletin 4.0 ??
