It appears to be adding the full link, instead of just images/icons/icon10.gif.
Any help would be much appreciated. Also, the URL is directing itself to the wrong folder... it should be going to forum_beta2, not forum.

Please let me know if you've found a solution to this. Since it looks bad on the forum home, I will uninstall if a solution is not available soon.

The only solution I can give you would be to check your icon paths are correct, and to check your templates to make sure you haven't got any incorrect image paths saved in your templates...

As you can see from this screenshot I have attached, they work for me :squareeyed:

It works but as someone mentioned earlier. If someone doesnt have permission to view a forum they can still see the threads created there and the thread content is visible to them when they hover over the links.
Had to disable it since it was sensitive information being displayed to everyone.

I fixed this in a previous version :ermm:

Yours looks nice.

Well, I am using the default vB 3.5.0 Beta 3 templates / files. How can that be wrong?

[Kirk Y]

Yeah, I've corrected my Forum's URL in the ACP Options, but the problem is still there. It's trying to get the image from, "http://www.socomcity.net/forum_beta2/http://www.socomcity.net/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif".

I found the solution for us acidburn:

Go: Post Icons > Post Icon Manager > Generic Icons > Edit

Then take away http://www.sodomcity.net/forum/ , leaving only images/icons/icon10.gif (for each icon) and things will work like a dream.

Ahh, I love you Loki, great job! Thank you, thank you! :classic:

Edit: Oh, I just remembered, Satan, have you finished with the edits so that the plugin will get only New Threads, not just the ones most recently replied to? And Satan, I was just noticing your Screenshot you posted a few posts up, what would I need to do to put an image next to the Latest Threads box?



Edit: I figured the image out.

1. Locate in your FORUMHOME template:

<td class="alt2">&nbsp;</td>

2. Replace this with:

<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_new.gif" alt="$vbphrase[latest_threads]" border="0" /></td>

Well I downloaded whatever version was up there about 10 hours ago. So I'm presuming that had the fix.
