No, as vBindex's poll wasn't designed for guests and as I no longer use vB2 vBindex 2 is no longer under development.

another question,
I have HTML enabled in the news forum, working ok inside the forum but on vBindex it dont parse html?
I have tried to reinstall vB234 and vBindex step by step again.

You'll probably need to edit this part, although I can't tell you what too (or even if it definitely is this section) as I don't use vBulletin 2:

PHP Code:

$newstext=censortext(bbcodeparse($news[pagetext],0,1));

How would, if need be, we go about uninstalling this? Just basically delete the templates and vbindex.php ... although we've overwritten file which could cause a problem, but yeah I'm not that good at these things. I wasn't even the one to install it, so I'm pretty clueless.

edit: Sorry. Wrong thread.

Is there any way to put borders around the avatars like we have in our forum? Also, why isn't the actual text in the news threads showing up? Last, can we put a separation between the latest threads and shoutbox, and again between the online and polls?

Alrighty, anyone know where I can find the fix for the line break in the news? I am seeing the post on the news page all bunched up as if there are no line breaks. I have been searching this thread for over an hour. :sleep:
