I would like to use this, but for some reason it does not put the link on my forums.

buileminh, read 'Notes' part in release info.

Yeah it doesn't add it to the navbar. Could you make a feature that adds it to the member's UserCP instead?

A lot of people have custom navbars, and I would have expected it to be in the UserCP instead of up in the navbar.

Don't use custom style, where navbar template moved to the header!

i cant setup Random Questions, it directs me to smileys page when i click setup in the vbsettings.. any idea?

[Derekclarke]

Thought I would point out, when you click the link in the installed products page, it takes you to the 3.7 version and not the 3.8

I have updated mine manually.

This is an excelent hack!!! Very-very usefull.
At the next version could you please give admins the options to choose which usergroups can invite and different ammount of invitations for each usergroups?

[buileminh]

Suggestion:
- Add captcha image to prevent spamming
- Allow users to send multiple invitations at once (but limited by Admin in AdminCP)

[buileminh]

I found 2 problems:
1. I choose "YES" for "Only invited users can register" but I still can registered and validate my email without entering any invitation code.
2. If there is any problem that make invitation is sent duplicatedly to the same email, all the duplicated invitation are counted. This is not actually an error but it can be much better:
- If the email address is already registered with an existing member, no invitation will be sent and inviter should receive a notice about that
- If there are more than 1 invitations are sent to same emaill address by same member, only the last one are kept and counted, the others will be auto expired and deleted.

This addon does not work, im using the vb3.7 version and if they dont enter an invite code, they can still register
