I installed the userinfo block from here, and it shows up like this:

_UMBMEMP:
_UMBLATEST:
homicidal_puppy
_UMBOVER: 4

_UMBON[1]:
_UMBVIS: 0
_UMBMEM: 1

I put the contents of the readme file in the lang-english like it said to, but it's still not working right. Help! 8O

you need to either:

A) install the language files it gave you

B) re-upload the language files because they uploaded incorrectly.

im not sure what the case is on the user info block, but many times mods will include a file called lang-english.txt . this means you must open the .txt file and copy the language components into the lang-english.php that it specifies.

for example: you download the mod package and it has its directory already set up so that all you need to do is select all and upload. say there is a lang-english.txt in your download package, and its path is admin/language/lang-english.txt . you must open admin/language/lang-english.php and copy the components from the .txt file to the .php file, then reupload.

yeah i went in depth on this one but that way this can be am FAQ for future problems

The block I downloaded had 2 files, the php block and a readme file. The readme said to copy/paste lines into the lang-english.php file, which I did. I've reuploaded it several times, which doesn't fix it.

Try placing the language files into the modules/forums/language/language-english.php file. I did and it works for me.

Yea i just did that and it's working fine.

Groovy!! I think the instructions need to be upgraded to include the location of the language dir. People just assume it's the main nuke language directory if nothing else is mentioned.

Well, OK, but we have those Language variables in our Nuke main lang-english file, not the Forums language file and our block works fine...wierd..maybe something written in the block..

include lang english...blah blah....

I had the same thing happen to me, but I installed the user block before installing the forum register hack. After I installed the hack, I had to re-add the files back to the lang-english.php then it worked fine, I only added them back main Nuke lang dir, not the forum one. Now it's fine
