]yay! nice idea! could u PM me one karatekid? I have not released some yet... your one that I will rip will be my first, but shhhhhh, don't say to anyone! ;)

you're quiet cool :D

I wrote in the first lines of my explanation in the install readme were I got the original code from. So keep cool. :cool:

i know you did this. i mention it before. you are the only one who had the courtesy to explain it.

Have you managed to fix this yet? If not the template you need to edit is home_threads just search in the text for threadstarter, that will take you to the right area and then you want something similar to the following where your code is:

<td width="15%" align="center" background="{imagesfolder}/back.gif"><smallfont color="{tableheadbgcolor}"><b>Threadstarter</b></smallfont></td>

background="{imagesfolder}/back.gif" refers to the background image if you use one, if not change that line to bgcolor="{tableheadbgcolor}" where {tableheadbgcolor} is the color you want the background to be. Do this for all three.

I don't think el3m3nt was / has been trying to claim creadit for all the hacks he has used that have been written by other users, he only released the file cus me and a couple of other users said that we would like to use it, he wasn't claiming credit in my opinion. I think that he didn't give credit to the original hackers as he feels that no one needs to creadit him if they use any code he produces and perhaps therefore asumed others think the same way, which of course not everyone does.

I do see you point though and el3m3nt should have creadited the original writer of the code and has done now, I don't think he has ever tried to claim the credit for other peoples code, but only for the fact that he managed to merge them in a way people want to use.

i understand. as i said earlier in the thread, i aproached him polite and asked him about it. he told me that he doesnt care about credits, only the file counts. please read the thread to understand better.

and personally i think we discussed enough this matter. el3m3nt doesnt look into my eyes as a thief. i'm sure that in his mind, he only tried to help others. unfortunatelly he chosed the easy way, copy and paste.

i dont write php code for a long time.. but in every single hack i downloaded from this site, i saw others giving credit for soemone else's work. so i did the same because it seemed to me logic and honest.

that's all i have to say.

all the best,
nakkid.

I didn't mean to sound rude nakkid, I agree with you 100% that he should have given you and the other hackers credit.

I know all the hard you work you and other people put in to help others and I know that I am most greatfull even if others are not.

I hope there's no hard feelings.

Regards,
Lee

one more thing. look at this new guy Darren. he wanted a main page also. he did his own hack in a different aproach. he asked in forums alot, because he's new. he learned the hard way and he spent hours to test. (i saw him working on this for almost a week - yes i do read almost every post out there) he came up with his first hack and he kindly answered to all my questions. he is modest and he's fair. he did a great job on his install.txt file and he detailed every single step carefully. and for a new guy, ne didnt forget to credit the user (one) he took a code segment.

what can you say to a person like that? you tell me please. everyone.
read his thread:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=37134

I certainly agree that producing your own code and learning the hard way is far better in the long run, at least that way you get something out of it, a lot of knowlage and your able to feel proud of what you have created.

I have looked at his hack and I must agree it looks very good indeed and will be trying it out, thanks for pointing that out nakkid.

I guess its just alot harder for some then others, I know I have great difficulty in programming, in any language, which is the one of the areas I'd really like to be good in, yet in other areas of comptuting I excel.

Its a shame more people arn't as committed and honest as Darren and a majority of the other members are.

Thaaaaaaanx NTLDR :):):)
now its just like how I want it:)

can you pleeeeease also help me with the newsimage icon?

thanx in avance

dm

No problem, glad I could help, I've read the thread but am not quite sure what the newsimage icon problem you have is?

Is it the non-existant icon0.gif problem? or something else? Let me know and I'll try my beft to help help you out.
