You would have to seriously hack the code and template - more or less a new hack.

hmm i can't do that.. i am a super noob. anyone here?

hello Paul, in version 1,01 of vbadvanced is easy, truly easy to
install yours hack, but in version 2,0 of vbadvanced as I make to
install the module? that practically it is last part that I do not
succeed!!! it makes to know thanks me pir4

I haven't used 2.0 yet. Sorry.

Sorry, I know nothing about vbadvanced - the module was done by dsboyce8624 - and it looks like he cannot help you either.

O.K. I installed this and it's there. but it does nothing. All I need to know is where and how do I do step 4
Step 4.

If you don't already have an index on the dateline field in the post table then you should add one ;

ALTER TABLE post ADD INDEX (dateline)
Can someone tell me where and how do I do this? Thanks for any and all helpful reply's!!!

You do exactly as you were told here ;

FYI: Step 4 is not a requirement to make it work, just make it faster. If it "does nothing" then you have done something wrong. That said, what exactly do you mean by "does nothing" - what are you doing to view it, and what do you see (and what is the url of your site as you haven't set it in your profile .....).

www.Blastology.net

I tried....as I was told in my admin. It said I do not have permission. Well, it's my site and I'm the only admin, so this is why I'm asking questions. Sorry if they're elementary to you. They are not to me.

See this for details on running queries in the ACP;

Looking at you site, you don't appear to have actually uploaded the topposters.php file.

http://www.blastology.net/topposters.php gives a 404 not found error.

I used the cmps version. That's why I gave my address, so people could see it. It's the first page you will go to and it's in the middle on the bottom,doing nothing :)

oh yeah I added the topposters.php too :) it's blank
