Forum Home Enhancements - [AJAX] SmnLikQuick v2.0 - Advanced Announcements Block

Description:
SmnLikQuick v2.0 adds an advanced announcement block (Title and Content) to your vBulletin powered pages that is easily managed via AdminCP. This new version (based on the AJAX Tabs Content Script (v 2.0) written by Dynamic Drive), utilizes Ajax to display multiple announcements in one container when the title (tab) is clicked on. It also has the ability (and utilizes this ability upon install) to rotate between tabs (announcements) in a "slideshow" type manner until a user explicitly clicks on a tab (see screenshots provided).

See Post #02 for log.
See Post #98 for Upgrade Instructions.
See Post #99 for Multiple Styles Fix

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file in /----/----/--------/public_html/smnlikquick.php on line 16

Noone has any idea how to solve it?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I'm new to coding.

I released a MOD Called AJAX TABS for CMPS.. part of that Mod has a Content File for Recent Threads and CAN be integrated into this with some minor tweaking.

yes, send that message to your HOST and ask them to turn it on.. its a php.ini setting on your server.

Its not recognizing that FONT for what ever reason. Maybe someone that deals with other languages can help you troubleshoot.

One issue I'm having with this is that the container collapses in size when loading the new tab. This has the effect of making the forum homepage jump; i.e. as the container reloads the forums move up, and as the new tab is shown the forums move back down again. Is there any way to stop this or fix the size of the container so that it remains constant, whether reloading or not and regardless of how much content is contained in each tab?
