Support
[hr]-[/hr]I use my released mods daily, if I find an issue with them or add features for myself I will release updates. If there are significant bugs or simple feature requests I will do my best to release fixes. Some of my mods rely on fetching data from 3rd party websites, due to the unreliable results, my mods will require users to troubleshoot for themselves if they find the addon is not working for them specifically. I am offering my personal mods that work ok for me for you to use, I am sorry I do not have time to troubleshoot many user specific issues. Thank you for your understanding.

To fix the rep edit gxbl_headinclude and change the background url to

http://gamercard.xbox.com/Content/Gamercard/default/gamerCard_Icons.png

Edit: Oops that is for vB3, confused myself. I still don't have vB4, so I can't really do anything to test or work on this version.

need to figure out how to fix Total Reputation: it always reads 0 ..

[Travis641]

If I am not mistaken the old gamercards from Microsoft had values to go along with the reputation stars in the source code. Now they just have the images.

I may be wrong on this, as it has been a while.

Are there any known issues about it not updating the scores for existing users? When I uninstal and reinstall the mod, everything works correctly that one time. Subsequent changes to the gamerscores are not reflected.

Replace your gbxl_top_games template with:

 <a href="http://live.xbox.com{vb:raw game.link}" target="_blank"><img border="0" width="32" height="32" src="{vb:raw game.image}" alt="{vb:raw game.title}: {vb:rawphrase gxbl_by_x_players, {vb:raw game.count}}" /></a>

[Hippy]

travis641 thats default

it needs to be changed to this

 <a href="{vb:raw game.link}" target="_blank"><img border="0" width="32" height="32" src="{vb:raw game.image}" alt="{vb:raw game.title}: {vb:rawphrase gxbl_by_x_players, {vb:raw game.count}}" /></a>
