I did not make any changes in the testimonials page at all, so I don't know how well the mod is working.

Let me know what to do next, please.



Thank You,

Does it say unknown location or something for the users that it said viewing testimonials before? Or does it show the actual place they are, and not say they are on vbtestimonials.php?

Thanks,

Make sure you entered correct PM details.
User To Send Validation Notice PM From should be one userid (not username). Users To Send Validation Notice PM To should be userids separated by a , (with no space).

Hello,

With those 2 plugins disabled, it now shows users where they are actually at. Before they were disabled, it would most of the time show uses in vbtestimonials, now it shows them where they are actually at like in the arcade, etc...

Thank You,

I would however like to place one or two random testimonial posts on a seperate php page so they can be displayed on one of my website pages and I could then add a link under these random testimonials, forwarding the user to the vbtestimonials.php page. Would it be possible to add this feature to your todo list or does anyone have any idea how this could be done?

Thanks

Any idea when this will be implemented?
