I really really like this addon/mod, but also have heard horror stories about it, and hackers getting into like 10 vBulletin installations before... I noticed the 5.0.5 version patched another security hole... I'm using this addon/mod now.. but I guess my main concern is, are all the security holes fixed/patched? LOL! I don't want to launch site, and then get hacked over n over lol. :P

30 Members have tested our edited version so far, not a problem yet, and no smilies

* to fix: redirect url on rules acceptance.

I've tried over and over, but the same issue stands: clicking on the Manage Forum Rules link leads to the Smilies page, even with all other mods disabled. It's not an issue of whether or not members can see the rules, it's an issue of whether admins can actually change those rules in the AdminCP. Something is clearly being overlooked for this issue to still stand.

Ensure that rule sets are applied to forums properly.

Try going to forum manager and just saving display order to update caches.

Hi,

I have installed it on 4.1.7. every thing seems to fine but I can not add new rules. the only option I have is to edit 'GENERAL RULES' that is created by default.

Am I missing anything ?

Any help will be appreciated.
