Do you mean before?

My line looks like:
$welcomeblock
<td class="alt1" width="40%" valign="top">$arcadenews</td>
</tr>
</table></td>

Laters

Mine kind of looks like that too, :). I tried to input this, but can't figure out how to make it work with this code. Any ideas?

same here... anyone???

Same Problem here :S

It works fine for me the way described. :)

I am runing 3.0.7 and inserted it as follows:


Note that I added a </td> just below $welcomeblock And moved the </td> from the end of the mod line to below the $arcadenews.

I don't have the catagory mod, so I skipped that part and went directly to modding arcade.php (I set mine to DESC LIMIT 48)... I had to change the mod slightly 'cause the original one caused the frames that the scroll bar was in to triple in size.

Thanks for the mod - I've been wanting to do that but did not know how! Hope I didn't step on any toes by changing mine a bit... (php newbie here)

modding
Still causes the frams size to go haywire though I had mine increased to 140 until I checked it on another pc and saw that it screwed up the frame size.

This mod gets 5 stars from me though! Sweet!

Mine worked using this method...

This is an awesome mod..... I would love to have this on my portal latest topics versus an auto scrolling. Could the code that is used on this work for the latest topics?
