http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-6398
http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-6803
This causes the application form to not display properly with Internet Explorer. It does display properly with other browsers.
There is nothing I can do about this. It is a bug in vB5.

Thank you nhawk worked a treat god knows how I missed that

[WhiskeyOSS]

I strongly suggest if you are going to attempt to use this mod that you make sure you have your home page backed up as I went to add the module / widget what ever you want to call it and it wiped out my main page.. I was fortunate to have backed up all of the code in my modules and was able to reset my page...

[nhawk]

What version of vBulletin are you using?

[Grotesque]

Apparently, I am not getting this one to work. When Im trying to import the XML file, it says 'No file uploaded and no local file found' while I made sure to move it to the right locations. Never got an automatic install either.

The Advanced Apps Icon is showing in the Module Manager, but when Im trying to place it into a new page, the page appears empty and unable to edit the module as it shows a blank customization box.

My vb5 is updated to v23 by the way~

I'll have a new version released by the end of the week.
