• 88x31
• 125x125
• 180x150
• Maybe a 468x60 one, not sure though...

Thanks!

Well... I noticed when you submit to edit a site, the linking information is there... you just have to "edit" to get at it. By plugging it in, like my last post - you end up seeing it twice on the following screen. So I changed it again - now its just a By-The-Way column that shows the URL without HTML... this column would be a nice editable feature via the admincp for messages to affiliates. See attached...

BTW - this is a great product... I have something similar in CGI but this is a better integration...

My Members add Banners that are too big. Isn't there an Image-Size-control?

[divided_by_fear]

yeah there is in the admim section... it lets you chose the biggest size you want to allow

[derekivey]

Yup, see Toplist Options in the Toplist Category on the left menu of the AdminCP.

[divided_by_fear]

is there a way to set this up so guest cant see that page until they register? cause they can view /toplist.php with out registering

[derekivey]

Yeah, I'll add an option for that in the next release also.

[divided_by_fear]

thank you

One thing I have just noticed, in the random site box, the ranking doesn't change. eg on mine bluepearl is ranked #1 but in the random box it says its ranked only #5.

Another bug to be fixed..

[divided_by_fear]

the rank changes its just not right lol cause i have my site on the ranking lol its saying im 3 and i made sure mine always stays ontop... it will tell me im ranked #3 when im ranked #1...
