The ones that the users added. Im wonder if I have a permission wrong somewhere as there is an x showing where the banner was.

They should be there. Did you accidentally delete the /images/toplist/buttons/sites folder?

A few questions:

Anyone know if the scroll can be turned off on the forumhome page and just show the images or links?

Is there a a way to turn off the "Button Image"?

And if I have Show User Banners enabled, when viewing Currently Active Users it says:

Unknown Location /toplist_image.php?do=view...

and if you click on that link it will just bring up the button image alone.

Also, I have my main table width set at 760px and after adding a new site under Site Added Successfully, it breaks the table width & goes way off to the right side.

Just edit the Toplist_Forum_Home template and remove the marquee in it leaving $toplist_images where the marquee tags were.

Toplist --> Toplist Options -> Show User Banners (set to no)

Looks like a bug with the WOL. I will take a look and fix it when I get back from school.

I'll have to take a look at this. It hasn't happened to me before I will see if I can find out what is wrong.

Thanks,

I have fixed a bug with the views counter not counting views from guests. Simply upload and overwrite the attached php file. The zip file has been updated also.

Thanks for the fix... I'll check in the morning. Much appreciated

The new file gives me a db error:
Database error in vBulletin 3.5.0:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE vb3_toplist_sites SET
out=out+1,
views=views+1
WHERE id='9';

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'views' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

Hopefully this has not been asked already but I have toplist installed and im trying to do some link exchanges with other sites that have toplist or something like it and i need to know if i missed something or if there is a way to have a choice between uploading a banner and linking a banner because i need to use there html code so i can get credit on there site when someone clicks on it on my toplist... In the code below, i believe i can use the (Site Url), on the first line <a href="http://www.hot-car-sites.com/"> and fill in the name, & Description as normal but i dont see away to use the banner part of the link on the 2nd line?

example of what i need to put in for the banner to get credit

<a href="http://www.hot-car-sites.com/">
<img src="http://www.hot-car-sites.com/button.php?u=vacustoms" alt="Hot-Car-Sites" border="0" />
</a>

Any suggestions would be great..
Thanks in advance...

Are you running the latest version (1.0.7) of my hack? It looks like you are missing the views field. If you are not upgraded yet, please upgrade, but if you did, just execute this query in vB's admincp or PHPMyAdmin.
[sql]ALTER TABLE `vb3_toplist_sites` ADD `views` INT( 25 ) UNSIGNED NOT NULL;[/sql]
