Max, I am still tinkering and trying to get rid of it. No luck yet. I have been able to modify it though to my own text and link so far. You have to modify the xml product file in WordPad where you see Kolbi and the link to his website. Then save it and install the product as an overwrite.

Kolbi, if removing your unwelcome advertisement from the bottom of my forum will put me in violation of using your product, please notify me ASAP and I will remove your product immediately and will not use any of your future products. Thanks.

The script installs this in your footer template script. Find and remove:

$vboptions[copyrighttext]

Which has been installed right under:

<div class="smallfont" align="center">
<!-- Do not remove cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->
$cronimage
<!-- Do not remove cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->

It installs this in the same place on ALL of your styles, by the way.

I tried your suggestion but that deletes the copyright text that I want to have on there too though.

It shouldn't have done that. Here is correct part of the footer code, with his added material in bold:

<div align="center">
<div class="smallfont" align="center">
<!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
$vbphrase[powered_by_vbulletin]
<!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
</div>

<div class="smallfont" align="center">
<!-- Do not remove cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->
$cronimage
<!-- Do not remove cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->

$vboptions[copyrighttext]
</div>
</div>

</form>

Remove only the bolded part. $vbphrase is vBulletin's copyright, $vboptions is, his option.

That is what I did and it still removes all of my vBulletin's copyright info too. I also have Quick User Switch installed and maybe there is something going on between this mod and that mod that doesn't like it when I remove that part. I don't know.

Thanks for trying though. I appreciate your time and help, Max. I am hoping Kolbi uploads a new xml file that has his advertisement footer info removed completely.

In my opinion he should have at least told us about it up front.

Did you fix your footer script back the way it was?

Agreed. And yes I did, thanks.

How can I make the avatar URL absolute instead of relative? Since the avatar doesn't show up in Photopost or Reviewpost now.

[Kolbi]

Would you be so kind to explain me in which way it should be relative?

I can't really understand there's the issue.

Thank you!

Many of my members have rectangle (standing or laying) avatars. These gets resized to squares, which squashes the images and looks very ugly.

What can I do to resolve this?

It shows well in Photopost Pro for me. But not in vbadvanced.
