Support
[hr]-[/hr]I use my released mods daily, if I find an issue with them or add features for myself I will release updates. If there are significant bugs or simple feature requests I will do my best to release fixes. Some of my mods rely on fetching data from 3rd party websites, due to the unreliable results, my mods will require users to troubleshoot for themselves if they find the addon is not working for them specifically. I am offering my personal mods that work ok for me for you to use, I am sorry I do not have time to troubleshoot many user specific issues. Thank you for your understanding.

ever since xbl update mine has not updated? why?

[Joe Siegler]

A question to the mod author..

Any chance you could change the mod to give me the ability to put a link to gXboxLive in the new Community grouping of options in the navbar?

Now that this is there, it seems a more logical place for this than "Quick Links".

Thanks.

Nothing.... read and you know. "The server gone away". To havy traffic

[MINIgolfer1]

I've attempted the install on my system and have everything working fine except for 1 small problem.

I have CMPS installed on my system, and when the XBL link is added to the NAVBAR, it puts it at http://www.metroplexunderground.org/gxboxlive.php instead of http://www.metroplexunderground.org/.../gxboxlive.php.

What have I done wrong? I've looked at all of the configuration options and for the life of me can't figure out where this is coming from.

If you're using vBAdvanced, go to the settings. The very first option is for header/navbar replacements.

Good idea, I will look into adding this option.

Highscore_Fighter is not a valid Gamertag. Use your admin search option to find and remove the bogus gamertag.

Your database is timing out. Try searching for a solution, it is common and not directly related to this mod.

[rabinhood76]
