actually, does any one know what i would need to do to add this pager pop up to work on my store software/external to vb. So that if they enter the shop gallery or auction software, it would still pop up? Is this do-able, it would then be utimatly awesome, not that it isnt already mind...

[The Geek]

I have to say, I have just installed minutes ago so im still getting to grips with it however I wanted to say that I am wayyy impressed. Job well done. HOTM well deserved.

Was wondering if anybody else had this proble. When viewing the pager in IE, I get a red X box in thread headings in between the number of the thread and the ip address icon. I only get this problem in IE, not Mozilla.

I checked my ftp and all the image files are loaded correctly. The Postbit and postbit_legacy code all look correct too.

If anybody can help me with this, that would be great.

i am having a problem where someone will send a page but it wont go through for X amount of time. i had one that took over 24 hours to pop up.

is this a known issue

Finally, we went from 3.0.7 to 3.5 and got everything looking the way it was after a full month of tinkering. And today was the day that i could install the new vbpager. And it ROCKS. It does everything i would have hoped it would do.

You UAE are GOD! :classic:

One question though. We only use the vb pager system for admins to sent messages to eachother and to other members. We DO want those other members, who dont have access to vb pager, to reply when we sent them a message, but we dont want them to sent us a message first. But if they reply (and we ticked on the allowe reply box) they get a message that they are not allowed to use vb pager.

It was possible with the old vb pager vor vB 3.0.x, but I cant seem to figure it out for 3.5. Something I miss?

i installed it on two sites. one site it happens to me all the time. the other site it hasn't happened to me but it happens to others. any idea why this is happening or if there is a fix

[hotwheels]

Could someone just give me a step by step?

just delete the files in reverse order of the install and remove the xml first........should remove the entire modification.

and not being rude but,

Quit annoying, I should say.

this is not really called for. I wish i knew half of what uae know's when it come's to .php....I know it is frustrating when a hack/program doesn't work right the first time, but it take's time to perfect this large of a hack/program.
I have it working on my website, myself and my member's totally enjoy it. It is used more then the pm system.

Anyways, let me know if you need any help with the uninstall........like i stated earlier, it should just be a matter of following the install instruction's backwards...

Awesome hack, excellent work to be honest...

Weird thing I get is that some fields appear over the message, I presume this happens to all and is something we have to live with, maybe its come up before, maybe its my skin....

I've attached an image of this...
