| NOTE: Don't forget to remove the empty space in front of 'hovercolor'.
This shows up after the dooutput function patch, and I really don't know why there would be instructions to remove a few spaces, couldn't they have just removed the spaces from the replacement code?!

Thanks for replying, Gary and Gio. I have never applied a hack that somebody else wrote, but I have written code around vB myself. I wonder if I am missing something because of my inexperience with these types of hacks. Does anybody release patches as .diff files? It seems like that would be nice for more experienced users.
