Hmm...
you put $showpips<br> right after it?
I'll go check my template to make sure thats the right variable...
Did you save and upload your admin/functions.php file?
-Edit-
Well, this is the line in my template:
PHP Code:
<smallfont>$post[usertitle]</smallfont><br>$showpips<br>
If the instructions say to make that look otherwise, tell me, and i'll update ASAP.
Also, make sure you added it to all your template sets.
