John's Article Hack (I NEED HELP)

[Osterling]

hello,

i am really getting anyoned with this and i am probably coming off as if i am whinning, if so i am sorry but can anyone help me... here is my problem, maybe someone can help..

the directions say to get it to work you need to go to vb options > v3 articles > and then click save but when i do that, first off the page is blank and only has a save and reset button has no opitions like it should have, when i hit save it says nothing is done..

i have followed the directions to a T but still this will not work for me. i figure once i can get the vb option v3 article page to show up and be able to click save it will work fine it's just getting to that point is where i am stuck at.

any suggestion.. :ermm:
