Hey Mick, so I got your module installed on a new site of mine and all is well except for one thing.  I have enabled the hyperlink option so my users can click to join the vent server from our website, however it's not working.  While hovering over the link I can see the link appear in the bottom of my browser window, but upon clicking nothing happens.  Do you have any suggestions for a fix?  By the way I'm using the latest version of IE and on the latest version of Firefox it opens up a dialog box where I have to browse to choose a program to use to open the link.

First off --- what is the URL?
Second, it seems that Firefox is allowing you to associate the link with a program -- which is the correct operation.  Once selected, IE may operate as intended.  The link requires the operating system to know the association. 

What version of IE are you running?

I'm using IE8.  The URL it gives upon hovering over it is, "ventrilo://finalchapter.clanvent.com:6064 /servername=Final Chapter".

When using firefox now after selecting what program to use it does open Vent, but it doesn't implement the address and connect, it just opens the program.

Issue: Not bringing up the program
Solution: It seems the the file association is messed up.  Each browser's file associations are somewhere different.  I do not have IE8 installed, but I am sure it is in the Internet Options area as the older versions are.

Issue: Not connecting to Vent
Solution: It seems that Ventrilo has made some changes that directly affect that function.  The program is sending the correct string, but it seems that Ventrilo is ignoring it.  I am not sure if this will be corrected in future versions, but they may be better able to answer that.
