If you get issues with Smilie page showing: replace product with this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....1&postcount=65

and await proper update from Valter. We have this working 100% now

For some reason, I'm getting a ton of users emailing me saying that they are forced to view the rules, which I have that set up that way, and are saying that the button to accept them is not showing up.

Is this a known issue?

I dont see it either.

In the product file:

What do you have at line 151

$vsa_frules_link .= '<a href="'.$vbulletin->options['bburl'].'/misc.php?'.'do=vsarules">';

This is our code ( which we redid to get it working )

Unfortunately this mod doesn't work well with CMS comments. It is probably a good idea to exclude forum VBCMS comments from the rules.

How Can I enable my moderators to use this function ?

Thnx in advance

What was your fix for this? There's a similar issue with Valter's Advanced Registration hack - the Smilie FAQ shows up no matter what link I click. This definitely sounds related.

Your fix is for the advanced forum rules hack though. There's a similar issue with the Advanced Registration hack (going to the smilies page). Is there something I can change to fix that hack too?

[TimberFloorAu]

Check back in this thread, I listed the fix i did for firebird ( cant remember their name )

[letusdazzleu]

Did anyone get this working? I applied the latest file and also tried the fix but still get the smilies if I turn the mod off.

IF I turn the mod on, I get this....
