You MUST upload your star images to a new directory called "stars" inside your "images" directory. If your images directory is not called "images" and is not directly inside your forums directory, you must change this in where it appears below (it only appears once, under the showthread.php section):
Change
images/stars/
to
path/to/images/
Then you must change it in the stars.php file, towards the bottom. This time, though, you must preceed your path with .. because you are going up one directory (stars.php goes in your admin directory!)
Example: ../path/to/images/

First, make changes to all the files mentioned in this file. They are: newthread.php, newreply.php, admin/misc.php, admin/index.php, admin/usergroup.php, register.php, and the postbit template. Once you have completed this, upload those files (obviously you can't upload the template <grin> ) to your site, and then upload mysql.php and stars.php to your admin directory.
