[NTLDR]

I would guess that its a change in the usergroup.php file.

Hopefully I will be able to test v2.1 on 2.2.7 before I release it.

NP mate, i'm glad i could helped

[SuB_ZeR0]

I notice that the templates that vbindex created are in the database only, and there is no access to them from the admin cp ... is there away to make them appear in the admin cp so that I can modify them more easily .... instead of going to the database every single time? Thanks.

[NTLDR]

They are all in the admin cp allready, if you have installed the entire hack correctly they appear under vBindex Templates in the Admin CP.

[SuB_ZeR0]

oh yeah ... I didn't notice it before ...

I have another question I want to ask ...about the poll option ... I created a poll forum and enter some test questions in a new thread ... but nothing show up in the vbindex page ...all it shows is the Vote button, and nothing else do I need to modify the forum in some way to make it work? Thanks

Also, can the forums (the news and the poll) be made invisible so that noone can post to it but the moderators? I check out the test forum and can't see those forums anywhere ..so I assume this could be done... ..

You did change $pollforum from your poll forum id?

example my poll forum id is 5

// polls forumid
$pollsforum=5;

Also, can the forums (the news and the poll) be made invisible so that noone can post to it but the moderators? I check out the test forum and can't see those forums anywhere ..so I assume this could be done... ..

make forum permission for admins and mods only (new thread)
that mean ya?
