What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

www vbulletin org

I've had a similar example on my board last night (different address was used by a new member in new topic). It was a pure advertisement.

[ozzy47]

Is that with or without the dot?

[Marcin1]

Without the dot

It it cointains the dot a mod works perfectly.

[ozzy47]

Yeah I don't know if there is much I can do about that, but I can look into it at some point.

[Marcin1]

Just a small correction.

If is www . vbulletin . org the links are also allowed.

I tested now on a test user.

[ozzy47]

Yeah there is always ways around things, but I will see what I can do, if anything when I get some free time. I am a bit busy right now debugging some other things for people.

I just had a new registration email me as he was unable to activate his registration. I tested the registration process and found that this mod was preventing activation of registration. This mods error message would show when clicking the activation link or pasting it in the web browser.
Once I deactivated this mod the registration activation worked normally.

Hmmm, can you upload these files, overwriting the old ones, and re test.

[CharlieDelta]

Same result

[ozzy47]

Hmmm, I am using this mod without that issue. Are you using some kind of welcome post other than mine?

Ok let's try these files then.

Then if it does work, try posting links in a post with a user that should not be able to.
