I installed both mods together as I applied the patch for TMS without any issues. I had one problem though. The GD lib is not compatible because mine is old version and can't update it because it is shared web hosting.

possibly I will be moving to a new web hosting instead of BH since their performance these days is not so good. "stinks :mad: "

I have verified that the problem is on the script, the part that tests the GD compatibility is wrong, even if the installed version is correct pull the error code.

I'll correct the script and see the new behaviour.

My hosting is enough for 12.000.000 pageviews month.

ok, great to know. Thanks for the valuable info.

I went ahead and did my own sprites on two different blocks; main and dynamic ...

but still the web hosting server is the spine of everything so if it is fast, using sprites is not going to do much... I think

edit: OK, I went through and fixed everything but the 'memberaction_dropdown' template. Not sure I fully understand that one. Maybe I'll try to figure it out after work, or someone else is welcome to.

Instructions: After you install this mod, go into Template-Modifications Manager. Select the [Up-/Download Template-Modifications] link. Import the XML I posted, selecting Allow Overwrite (you may also need to select Ignore Product Version as well).

After that, the majority of the templates should be fixed.

4.2.0 PL3 Fixed!

hey great mod, I recently installed this with TMS on a 4.2.0 patch level 4 forum, it looks like it installed but I cannot find the button to Refresh CSS-SPRITES. It's not showing up in ACP

For cut off icons I'd recommend just editing the sprite png file manually in a graphics editor.
While you're at it, try saving it in 8-bit color format with alpha channel (transparency). Not many editors support saving in that format (but browsers display it properly), so you can use https://tinypng.com/ for example. That can reduce the sprite size by more 50%. Just make sure to compare the result image with the original to see if there's a noticeable difference.

OMG, this mod is insane! I can't believe how good this works, my site is lightning fast!

And I have a VERY custom style running on my forum, with a lot of addons and template modifications. Before it took 1-2secs to load, sometimes a bit longer depending on what as being sent or received from the server. With is mod installed, the pages load INSTANTLY, no matter what. Its so fast the browser loading bar can't even keep up. LOL.

Thank you for this mod! So far everything seems to be running correctly.

*INSTALLED & TAGGED* If I could vote for MOTM, I would!
