Easy way to install add on's and Hacks?
 

I just bought VB 3.5.4 and love it. But am extremely frustrated at all the cool add ons - can't get them to work by digging through code I am not familar with. Just don't want to mess up the board.

Is there some kind of installer? I specifically need left/right columns...

Firstly, congrats on getting the best boards around and welcome to the community. (everyone here is pretty wonderful when u ask for help , seriously)

Secondly .. some help for you.

This is an Add on for 3.5.x and should have an installer in it - read the first thread and ill should explain all - ask on the thread if you have an issue.

If you want the same on the right :

All the modifications come with instructions. Unless they require template editing, the majority of them just require the import of a product or plugin xml file, and some need files uploading.

If you get stuck with one, just ask in the thread for it and someone will be glad to assist you.
