if i remember right, you should put the full url to each smilie in your admin cp in the smilies section instead of the relative url...

Here is something to ponder, when I put $username on the index page, it displays someone elses name. The names keep changing to different users, but it isn't my name.

what is the create way to call $username on the front page?

IT doesn't look like we are gonna get any feed back on this, I still can't see any news being displayed, and I am sure otehr people can't either.

Search back a ways. Lots of people have had the blank display issue and then were able to correct it.

NTLDR has been away for a while, but there is a LOT of useful info here. Your $username one is bizarre, though. I have never had any trouble with it.

I'm still trying to get past the 500 smart ass punk remarks, that if you read the thread you'd know, I did a search, "news not showing" so far i see people asking and the same response, its already been answer, go read the instructions.

LOL

As I have said many times before, I will not be answering questions twice, nor will I provide support for those who haven't read the thread.

Don't use $username, use $bbuserinfo[username]

Threads that are displayed on the latest threads etc, can't have permissions applied to them unless you either set each forums permission explicity or exclude them from the query, as I've provided instructions to do allready.

I've been trying to search out an answer to this question, and can't seem to find it in all ninety some-odd pages of this thread.

Hopefully someone can provide a quick answer...

What happens when the forums directory *is* the root directory of the website/domain?

ie.. if I rename myvbindex.php to index.php, what on earth happens to the list of forums that would otherwise be listed on index.php ?

(*edited to say: thanks in advance) :nervous:
