um

what seems to be missing is the template for $customtext

it's called for several times in the code, but I don't see it anywhere.

I added this hack, couldn't figger out what was missing because it wouldn't show up and that seems to be what it is.

also, a coupla things in your instructions that don't seem to be quite right (or at least they are giving *me* trouble):
[*]there are 2 calls to replace the same thing in both showthread.php and announcement.php[*]you seem to be missing the ">" that the end of the code to add in admin/options.php[*]Steps 3 and 8 in the member.php both ask for something to be added to "$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET password". I can only find one instance of this in member.php so I assume both are added to that same instance. Does the order matter?

I think that about covers it. It's gonna be great once I can use it. Thank you for all the hard work
