Maybe you have not uploaded all of the files for this hack?

Any idea?

[Joseph Witchard]

Very odd... That was it. I don't understand how I didn't upload that file. Thanks Is there an admincp directory in any other part of the vBulletin directory? I could have sworn I uploaded everything needed.

Will this mod work on VB 3.8.5?

I wasn't sure if it was acceptable to double-post or not in this case, since my last reply is so old and I'm pretty sure the thread doesn't show as updated if you just edit your post. I apologize if it's not acceptable and I won't do it again if I am so told.

This works great.

[Jonston]

is it possible to customise what account you can switch back to

heres my scenario
on our board we have 3 modbot accounts(so we can moderate and not be targeted by users)
i have linked each of my mod team to the modbot accounts and it works like a charm

my prob is that when we go to switch back from modbot to personal account we have the option of switching to anyone in the mod team

is there anyway too only make it switch back to original account?

This is conflicting with my Unread PM's and other Notifications in the same area. Is there anyway to move the account switch drop down menu so it does not interfere anymore?
