Nice work. Not sure what your trying to acheive with the:
in the template but I dont believe that location is valid for a <br /> and the extra cell closer can be removed for better validation. (Might break some pages having an extra closer tag in the wrong place).
Mind if I post in the thread a quick and easy "how to convert" this to a vbPortal block ? Involves something like 6 basic lines of code ( 5 additional and 1 changed line ), and uses your stock template with a repeated minor change for the links from the vbA module.
No need for you to support it, that can be done via a thread on vbPortals website with a linkback to the thread/post.
