[DBTech] Random Questions v2 (vB4) · **Released**: 06-04-2010

Random Questions: What is it?

DragonByte Technologies is proud to present version 1.0 of [DBTech] Random Questions.

The Random Questions mod is intended to increase activity in your forum, attract back old members, and encourage members to form friendships (and thus stay).

It accomplishes this by allowing/encouraging users to answer random questions about each other. The questions are settable by the admin (5 included in the Lite XML as an example). The questions can be anything from ?What do you think {usernames} favourite game is?? to ?Do you think {username} Wants a pet dinosaur??. These questions usually serve to bring random people closer together, and have people communicate with each other who otherwise might not have. It's a great way to inspire closer bonds in your community (And, of course, having friends is one of the big reason people stay on forums).

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

We appreciate the support!

Any update to this Mod to address the issues, personally you should release the full version here free so its fully tested and then allow people to donate so that you can work out all the bugs before charging for a script that is not complete. Sorry my .02

Hey,

Could you try reinstalling the mod now. Overwrite every single file and reimport the product file. I had a similar bug that you mentioned a while back and doing that fixed the issue for me. If that doesn't work, could you PM me your site url and the login information of a test account.

Thanks,
David

Just uploaded a small maintenance release. The issues with the submit button should be gone now and the request link is gone from profiles.

I 2nd this suggestion. Perhaps by utilising members from specific usergroups, if not by postcount or what not.

Your last update DID NOT fix the submit issue, I cant click submit after trying to answer a random question.

You should still have access to my site with the test id to see for yourself
