I don't think I've ever seen so many people have so many problems with such a small hack.

I just read the entire thread and am very disappointed to find that nobody else has the same problem as I do.
The hack works fine with my 2.2.6, but for some strange reason the
off.gif next to the words "Personal Messages" does not show up. Instead I get that red X that I.E. puts when an image is missing. I right click to get the properties and it says the file is "
.gif" no name in front of the period, just .gif - and of course there is no .gif so I'm getting the red X.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
