Aww I misread the notes then. Still here is to hoping!

Thanks for the update! For the update is all we need to do to upload the xml file again? Or the other stuff to the server as well?

[DragonByte Tech]

Upload the new files to your server just as you did on initial install, then import the new xml allowing overwrite.

Where To Show In PostBit > User Info Right After Posts (Legacy & Horizontal)

Does not show correctly , conflict with [DBTech] vBActivity & Awards v3 (vB4) ? Please can you check and fix on this issue ? Also try to add locations to show "Postbit Controls Area (Legacy & Horizontal)"

Attachment 143505

Then you would have to manually place it in the template and prefix the code with a <br /> or two depending on how it lines up.

As for Postbit Controls Area I don't believe I will be adding it there as a option, cause it will cause to many alignment issues in that area, but I will test it out during the next feature update and see if it will work there.

Can't get this to e-mail. I select it, it reverts back to PM.

Also am I the only one who isn't getting a redirect or is it not built in? Every time I submit anything on this, it just goes to a blank page (my board is there just the spot where the submit and form was just goes away). It saves everything (except if I chose e-mail) but just seems off.

[DragonByte Tech]

The redirect was addressed in the latest version, as far as the email issue, I'll look into it and report back when there is a fix.

It worked when the owner tried adding it. I think it required FTP.
The product is great. Thanks for it.

[DragonByte Tech]

Yeah it requires ftp, or cpanel access as you have to load files to the server. Thanks for reporting back.
