Purely amazing. Works like a charm. This could be used for other things, such as a TOS page instead of forum rules. You should make an option so you can change the text. Meaning like instead of it saying "Forum Rules" give the option to change the text to something more appealing/suite our forums. Like people would want to change it to their website rules. For example, instead of it being "Forum Rules" give the option to change the text and make it custom like; "TOS & Rules!" or "Rules for the forums!" or some customization like that. Does that make sense?

Nevertheless, this is excellent, thanks.

If you are getting this error, make sure before anything you go to:

vBulletin options > General Settings > VSa - Advanced Forum Rules > Make sure enable hack is ticked "Yes" and then reload the page and you will be given the option to edit.

Hi,
Are developer consider to extend restrictions for blogs? Spammers use it to post their garbage there.
Thank you

Soon almost a year have passed since I asked the first time for help. No reply yet and thus no help. Is this really supported?

Borders? Did you create tables?

Look here and see if it is what you mean.

No answer usually indicates nobody knows the answer. Just because the author released a mod he uses to the public doesn't mean he's always available nor all-knowing.

OTOH, after a few weeks nobody would really mind a bump.
