I just installed this mod, and wow, thank you! Very nice and easy to install. Everything seems to be working correctly but my Today's post's button. I don't get an error but it doesn't show the new posts either, I just get a blank page without anything but my header and footer.

www.oracing.com/forums (http://www.oracing.com) is my forums in case someone wants to check it out and see what I'm talking about.

I just went there and it is working fine for me. I would suggest clearing your cache and cookies and see if that helps.

Yeah I fixed it :) Needed to change the htaccess.

Can someone tell me which part of the htaccess file I need to change so that I don't have to use the "/" at the end of the url's? When I change it in the admincp I cannot access my forums, I am assuming it's because of the htaccess file. Here is my file as it stands now.



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Another issue :( Clicking on a members name, I noticed images are missing in the template, and also the p.m feature doesn't work. The p.m feature is a little more important to me, please advise :)

Also, the second page of a thread won't work either. I get a blank page.

Mine is setup as forums have forward slashes http://boardname/f-forumtitle-33/ and that thread titles do not - follows forum structure exactly but no forward slash at the end - that to me seems to be the most logical (and clean) way to do things - I also dropped .html as some people were having issues with Opera storing the pages as static content.

This would be the .htaccess I use (note to update your preferences in the admincp too.)

(Do not copy mine over unless you verify that you are running the exact same version as I - I'm doing this simply so you can see how to modify the .htaccess for the dropping of .html at the end of your file names.)

Also - the images issue should have been explained in the install instructions - you need to add base href to some templates to get everything back to normal.

The multiple pages situation was fixed long ago, unless a new bug popped up - what does your verison say inside the product manager? A lot of these bugs seem to be because of the 18 billion versions floating around on various systems, and I don't think the one available on VB.org's thread is even the right one... Going to have to see about getting that problem fixed.

What did you change? I am having this same issue - Also when I go into the forums, I am getting multiple colored backgrounds!? Like - it should be a solid grey background - instead it is great and a brown like color. I think it has something to do with some images not showing.

Latest release of vrewrite, VB 3.5.1, PHP 4 and I shut it off so I don't need to give a URL, I'll click install and post a link once I have a working hack.

Make sure this line is present (and written as such in your .htaccess)

As for the mentioned member display problem, add this to your memberinfo template:

<base href="$vboptions[bburl]/" />

I have a problem with the images too, they display only on the front page and the rest of the pages are without images. What templates do I need to add base href too?

Thanks.

I'll post a thread with what I have, most of these bugs being reported have been fixed on it - there are a few still remaining, but hopefully we can all get on the same page - there are a few 1.5.1 versions floating out there for some odd reason. (I mean - they are assigned 1.5.1, but some have more bug fixes than others... I don't know why.)
