One thing i would like to see is an option the remove 'views' or re-arrange the text of the toplist to underneath the button/banner... looks good now, but looked better before with those using 468px banners...

Thx for the quick update dude, but there seems to be one spelling mistake:

Below are the results of checking this document for XML well-formedness and validity.

1. Error Line 1205 column 101: ID "collapseimg_forumhome_toplist" already defined.

...lapse('forumhome_toplist')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_toplist" src="/for

An "id" is a unique identifier. Each time this attribute is used in a document it must have a different value. If you are using this attribute as a hook for style sheets it may be more appropriate to use classes (which group elements) than id (which are used to identify exactly one element).

✉
2. Info Line 1129 column 101: ID "collapseimg_forumhome_toplist" first defined here.

...lapse('forumhome_toplist')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_toplist" src="/for

3. Error Line 1210 column 11: ID "collapseobj_forumhome_toplist" already defined.

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_toplist" style="">

✉
4. Info Line 1134 column 11: ID "collapseobj_forumhome_toplist" first defined here.

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_toplist" style="">

This seems to be spelled wrong collapseimg_forumhome_toplist

Sorry about that I forgot to add that. You can just remove it from the templates if you want and change the alt classes so they are like before. I will include an option in the next release though.

np dude thx for taking the time to release such a great hack

im still have the hack activated i just have it disabled on the homepage for now, as apart from this problem with XHTML validation on the homepage the rest of the script passes perfectly.

The banners I had on my previous version arent showing now is that right? Do they need re-adding

Which banners? The ones the users add or the ones that you added for them to put on their sites?

Hmm I can't seem to reproduce those errors. Do you have the old template edit in or something? Now it edits the template on the fly so there could be a chance that you have the old code in. Can you turn that back on and give me a URL to your site so I can check it out?

Thanks,
Derek
