I imported the .xml and modified the FORUMHOME template and the mod is working on my forum, however, I see there is a "Step 3: Click INSTALL" which I don't know how to do it? I can not find the INSTALL link or something like that on my forum, is it a necessary and must do step? The mod has been working on my forum now, my vb is 3.5.3.

thanks

Scroll up to the very first post of this thread. On the right side you will find something like:
Mod Options
Install this Modification
Report this Modification

Click on "Install this Modification". Done.

Wouldn't mind some help.

I have installed this on my messageboard - its a great option, but not working quite perfectly for me. I am not 'live' as yet, i.e. just some test users, but I get two different views when looking through different browsers (not surprising)

Through Firefox works ok, but without any icons/smilies (whatever is supposed to be depicted) and through IE I get the unpleasant image not found 'x'.

Could someone advise why this might be as I haven't a clue.

Having a problem with this .

I installed it when my board was at the domain antispywareoffensief.nl. But since we moved it to nucia.nl it gives a doulbe URL at my icons.
Please have a look at the screenshot:


As you can see two URL's are give. Is this a bigger problem (something like a setting somewhere) or is this a problem within the hack I can fix?

Very nice.

Quick question. How many threads will it display in Latest threads and is there a way to modify this?

Thanks

[Vierie]

It displays 5 threads. If you want to change it, search for

PHP Code:

DESC LIMIT 5"); 


in the xml file and change that number to whatever number you need.

[shaynehammy]

Thank you for your help. Can we marquee this in anyway?

[The Chief]

installed and works great, thanks!!
