No, I'm not. Looking at the path to those images I would guess that they are only in some styles - there are no buttons in the one I have always used (Stylish Green).

Well I nearly said yes - but after searching the page source I found the button, tucked away below the main hack post, next to the thread rating. I have never noticed it there, and always thought the link next to the actual files is all there was. :)

Yes! Exactly!

The first day I was browsing this site (awesome site by the way, Admins), I was just amazed that a single button could somehow initiate me giving permissions to do the installation on my server.

I was thinking of 1,000,000 questions, like "How are you going to auto-FTP the bits to my server?" etc.

After all, "Install this hack" is a statement that is a directive, not a past tense thing.

So I got up the courage to click the button. And then... ::depressing music theme:: nothing happened.

THEN I felt very very lame :surprised:

I bet it happens a lot but no one likes to admit it :)

Hehe yeah, loooong time ago when I registered I thought the same. I knew nothing about web-development, servers or programming or in fact the web back then :D!

Heres all the blank install buttons, hope this helps...
