Ok I can't figure this one out, i've installed it ok, made the necessary template adjustments, enabled it, made the changes to the admin usergroup, but none of the options on the forum show up

Not in the navbar, useroptions or anywhere else?

This is a great extension, thanks UAE.

I'm sure this has been mentioned before somewhere, but I have a request for a future release, which is the ability for Administrators to read PM's to help limit abuse.

I have a similar problem. I have installed this on two forums hosted by different companies. They all worked fine, but now all the options on the foums and anything to do with vbPager have gone.

The usergroup settings are there however. Even the text on the navbar bit has gone.

Nothing has been altered with the templates as far as I know.

UAE Rocks!!!!!!
any way to parse HTML codes in pager messages ?
or just http links

I keep getting these in my mysql slow query log. For some reason it is hitting my server hard, causing mysqld to spike the cpu for a few minutes at a time, and causing my server to become unresponsive.

# Time: 060414 20:10:16

SELECT p.pagerid FROM pagertext AS p
LEFT JOIN pagerreceipt AS r
USING (pagerid) WHERE r.pagerid is NULL;

SELECT p.pagerid FROM pagertext AS p

SELECT p.pagerid FROM pagertext AS p
LEFT JOIN pagerreceipt AS r
USING (pagerid) WHERE r.pagerid is NULL;

look at those rows examined!

I've had to disable the pager because of this, and my members are not happy about it. That isn't your problem, of course I was just hoping you could give me an idea of why it is doing this.
