exactly my point groovesalard. i ave the mybookmarks hack installed on my forum, and i think it's fantastic. and it's very close to what we would need... know what i mean.

if i ever have a few minutes, i'll check to see how much changing it would take to turn it into a different type of collections database.

Buddha - Someone just messaged me to install the Journal hack and change that around. I'll look into it and see if it's easy to change around, or if that's the style I'd like.

i haven't installed the journal hack. i can see what they mean, but i would like more control of the collection (categories and such)... which i know the mybookmarks offers.

good luck though.

Yeah, I looked at that. Not what I wanted. I need something that looks like this:

Ok...I can live without it, but how do I stop the text "Online Today" from displaying? I don't see it in the "home_left" template.

Its towards the bottom of the home_left template unless you have moved it else where.

Okay....this is what I have:

What am I looking for?

Cheers!

take that all out.
you'll notice that tablerow will be removed from your left menu.

ntldr, i've found another glitch with mine, and this one is serious enough.
when i post html in my post (and the forum allows html), it displays the html code on the vbindex... actually shows the text code. it doesn't render it.
i'm thinking this is probably the same problem that's causing the smilies not to show up either.

any thoughts?

*edit*
testing many things...

any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

If you use the code I gave for the smilies that added 2 queries did does that parse the HTML? Or does it still show up as HTML source? I'm thinking perhaps removing those 2 queries has done this.

yeah, that was the first thing i did... put that line of code in. in fact, i tried both lines you suggested and only the second one worked (adds 2 querries) ... still fooling around with it but it seems to allow the html.

it's having some problems with deep nested tables, but i'll work around that.

the extra querries tick me off, but it's still better than before.

if you come up with anything, please let me know. thanks for the help.
