Sorry Felix 10 for taking so long to reply
Ok, to get ahandle on what works and what isn't, can you try something out?
Can you selected members go to cp.cgi?ubb=vars_news_fader after logging in? If not, this is a cp.cgi problem.
But i'm more concerned as it being a cp_common.pl. The picture diplicted wordlets mods in the primary box which isn't right. Was that blank option the news fader? (It could also mean something wrong installed with the mod wordlets)?
If all else fails and the option is still blank, you can try replaceing the $vars_wordlets_mods{news_fader....} in cp_common with "News Fader Settings" or something like that.
As for this refreshing business, i'm putting my money into a cookie problem, not the software. But if others get this problem, then a closer look at the code will need to happen.
