Does this work on 3.6.7???

[ragtek]

yes

why you don't try it yourself?

The forum engine is the whole vBulletin software package.
The subdirectory of your forum engine is where you've uploaded vBulletin files when you installed it.
The admin subfolder is the folder called "admin" in the place where you've uploaded vBulletin files.

I've just set this up for Admins and Mods (usergroups 6 and 7) and it works great.

Is there a way to add the post count of each user that is in the drop-down menu? I've tried adding $post[posts] but it doesn't display anything?

Thanks

Anybody???? I've uploaded the product, I've changed the templates, but I don't know what this means:

Example: If you need to copy ./admincp/thehack.php to ./somefolder/thehack.php, it would mean that you need to copy a file, called thehack.php from the admincp subfolder of the package you have downloaded to the somefolder subdirectory of your forum engine.

Where am I supposed to be where I would see this folder? In cPanel? In the admin panel? I don't see it! And nobody who says they'll install Mods for a price is answering their PMs.

I had no idea what it meant either, so I skipped that part. Everything appears to be working perfectly fine though.

Thank you for your reply! Could you tell me, where are you switching IDs? I see the form to link them, I don't see anything for switching them. (I'm perfectly happy to leave it out if it worked for you.)

--------------------never mind, figured that out ----------------

You're right - it works without that file upload, whatever it was. Thank you again!

I installed this and after a day or so all of the users who had a linked account started getting major errors in IE which caused the browser to close. Anyone else experience something like this?

Thanks.
