something like this

If so that would be awsome.

A CMS Widget like that would be extremely useful. Anyone knows how that one was done?

Also, as others have requested an "automatic laspe/revert" for any added/moved usergroup (after a specified time) would be great too!

Also would it be possible to change the progress from just a line to a entire bar?
On my site this is how lit looks right now
Only showing a bar of how much was paid.
[...............|...............] 50%
Anyway we could get something like
[////////////|...............] 50%
So that everything behind were we are will be filled in?

Just add a color to:
AdminCP/Options/VSa - PayPal Donate
Custom color for "Done" part (blank to use alt1 bgcolor)

it looks like there is an issue with 1 month subscriptions in vb 4.1.2 - all other monthly subscription options are working, however, the "1" month is conflicting with the redirection to paypal.

Ok I have look throught the mod and this has been asked over and over, but I still do not see a answer.

How do I get the donation goal bar to show somewhere else other than below navbar, what phrase does it use, like on the older version of the mod you would put $cybpaypal_donbar where you wanted the bar to show.

Major issue with this... donations come up as payments - not donations. This means that a non-profit wouldn't get discounted transaction rates for the donation as it shows up as a normal payment instead.

Anyone know how to change the link to Paypal to correct this?

I am getting this error:

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: Display_Visitors_User in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4097

and I am not that great with figuring out what is wrong, can anyone help with that?

otherwise I think the program is great, with some outstanding features. Excellent work.

[Valter]

fetch_template() function is not used anywhere in this product.

Ensure that you have no some old vB3 add-on(s) installed on your forums.

I've found the same issue, it is also frustrating from a tax perspective.
