As dandy fine as this was, it never felt right for a car forum:

Version 1, about 15 mins worth of work tonight

I really like CodeRed's layout as shown in post 524 - it's clean and logical and uses both the avatar and the photo. It unfortunately doesn't show a person's friends / buddies and vbJournal entries. imported_infitech's layout is also really cool!

How about starting off a new thread so that people can show off their implimentations of this mod and maybe even share their MEMBERINFO template edits with others.

They have been already doing that in this thread, that is what this is about!

I'm trying to get my head around this (taken from the installation instructions):

Download the .htaccess file I have attached and place it in your forum's root folder. This will give you those wonderful links for the usernames. ex. www.yourdomain.com/forums/stangsta

First off I'm ussing IIS on Windows Server 2003 so there's no .htaccess file - I use ISAPI Rewrite.

What does the contents of the .htaccess file really do? I understand that it's supposed to be enable you to use nice URLS like www.yourdomain.com/forums/stangsta - but how does the webserver tie up member.php?u=1 to www.yourdomain.com/forums/stangsta? In other words how does it know that u=1 belongs to stangsta or vice versa?

I was under the impression this was more of a support thread than a 'show off my site' thread. This thread's already 37 pages long - many people who are new to this thread are not likely to read all 37 pages (more in the future). In my opinion it would make better sense to have two different threads - one support one 'show off my site'.

It wont work on Windows, sorry.

As far a s the logic behind the .htaccess file, the u=1 is tied to the username via the database. The same way a variable $username would know.

If you dont want to read all 37 pages....use the "search this thread" button.

ugh? thanks for the heads up? lemme know what u tweaked so that I can correct it on my end as well if you don?t mind?


thanks a ton? I think I have it parsed but im not sure why its not picking it up. I?ll relook at it as well


thanks? my profile page is an accumulation of various bits and pieces from other members that posted their work in the original myspace profile thread? so I cant take credit for all of it?


Thanks again guys?

anyone know how to add a different Instant messaging system to VB? Im looking to add one called ?Hello? released by Picasa which is very helpful to use photographers since we can view the pics realtime and discuss them etc? I?d like to add it to our forum to make it work much like AOLIM and MSN Messenger etc works?
