Chris,

First, take notice of the part that reads, "you'll have to apply these template edits to each style you have."

I say that because I didn't pay enough attention at first to this and then when I installed the mod on my default style I couldn't figure out why I had some issues with my custom styles. (Which I still am, but that's a seperate issue.)

What you'll need to do is this:

In whatever style you want to install this mod on:

1. Under Styles and Templates in the ACP (admin control panel)
- Click on Style Manager
- For the style you want to install the mod on, to the far right you'll see a drop down box. Click on that and select "Edit Templates"
- On the left hand side you'll see all kinds of templates and template categories. You'll want to locate the category labeled, "Forum Home Templates >>"
- Double-click on that.
- Then you'll be looking for each of the actual templates that the instructions refer to.

2. In the folder for this mod that includes all the files, open up the document that is labeled "Template Edits."
- You'll see each template you'll need to edit in here.
- For example:
=========================
FORUMHOME TEMPLATE EDIT 1
=========================

That means you'll need to look under the template, FORUMHOME and follow his instructions precisely. Don't forget to click on "save" at the bottom of the page after you make the necessary changes. Then refresh your forum home page to see the effects from your edits.

If all else fails, I'll be working on solving a seperate problem I'm having with this mod and a particular style today, so you may catch me in front of the computer. My AIM is "pjskiboy" or Gtalk is "pjskiboy". I'll help you out if you catch me online. Just instant message me. (I'm having a soft heart because I remember when I first started messing with this stuff and I was completely lost. Now I'm only slightly lost at times, lol.)
