I decided to change where i put the chatters online in my main page .. I wanted under the pm messages at the bottom.. So I opened forumhome_pmloggedin template and put this at the bottom..
<tr id="cat">
<td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}" colspan="6"><smallfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><b>Current/Recent Chatters </b></smallfont><smallfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"></smallfont></td>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" colspan="6"><smallfont>$chatters</smallfont></td>
</tr></tr>
Instead of in my forumhome_loggedinuser template. Now it shows at the bottom plus its hidden from guest.. Guess you could find a bunch of different places you might want to put it.. These hacks are great, I'm having a lot of fun with them..
