Go to admincp > vbulletin options > General settings..

..and at the block "Disable AJAX Features" set "Enable All Ajax Features". :up:

I tried to do the edit but it didn't work for me. Is there a certain place within the css file that this needs to go?

Every single time that I try to install the product, it gets hung up & never fully "completes". When I look at the manage products screen, it shows it as being installed but I don't have any of the options on the sidebar to actually configure the mod.

Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm on vB 4.2.0.

Excellent hack! TY.

There's only a small problem I encountered while using postbit on any theme (including the default vBulletin theme). Using postbit_legacy doesn't have the follow issue.

Plugin enabled


Plugin disabled



The post #'s and the physical post layout get thrown out of whack a small bit.

I've reuploaded the contents to the server as well as re-installed the product xml; same results. I will try to add it to my other mostly stock test forum (1 plugin - a chatbox) and see if the results are the same.

Also, the:
Thumbs Up/Down

Many thanks in advance.

edit:
Forgot to mention, I'm using vB 4.2 patch level 3

This fixed the scrolling issue I encountered as well. Thank you!

Love this mod, favourite like/thumbs up mod by far.

My only issue is I dont wan't users to be able to "unvote" their thumbs up.
Instead I would prefer if the grey icon appeared and there thumbs up stood forever.

Is there any code I could change to make this happen?

EDIT: Also I think it would be better if no number appeared when there is no votes on a post instead of a zero.

Thanks.
