Thought I'd update on the progress of these two projects.

I still havn't managed to figure out why the progress bars and shop items have vanished from your post areas. All data is being tracked however so hopefully it will be a simple solution once I figure it out.

FlashChat is proving tricky to install, which is unusual for vBulletin as mods are usually very easy. I shall try again tonight and see what I can manage.

For a while if you click the latest post link on long threads it automatically took you to the first post instead. Likewise for post searches.

I've found the error and fixed this so all should be well now.

I've updated one or two things this morning.

Firstly the vbExperience hack has been updated to fix one or two things. You should be able to sell products back to TES now should you so wish.

I've also updated the blog. There isn't a huge number of whizzy features but some bugs have been fixed. You can see a full list of them on the vBulletin site if you want.

We had a few trouble makers on the forum yesterday and it transpires that they are members of Burnerworld, a biking forum, who had setup a thread with the express intention of finding forums to cause mischief on and documenting the hilarious () results.

Some people are easily amused it would seem.

Just a quick note to explain my decision to ban this member. We've had a few members down the year with, lets say, extreme views on population control. As a new member who was advocating measures such as automatic female sterilisation and 90% population reduction it seemed sensible to deny this person the chance to pollute the forum with such views.

They have since re-joined using new email accounts and may well do so again. I will be banning ip addresses should they try again,...
