Please have a look at: http://www.cheerforum.de/technik-f15.html

Hi,

ok, another thing I got, this time I am sure it is not my fault

When creating or editing a forum, leaving the teaser field empty and saving it, the "empty" <div></div> tag is written into to the database.

Hello everybody,
can it be that this Add-on is not compatible with VBulletin 4.03?
I have upload the php-file and include this line (<vb:if condition="$foruminfo[forumteaser]"></vb:if>) in forumdisplay but no Teaser is at the desired position...
