I have yet to see a post that shows how to fix it...and try not to be so rude...god :smoke:

NTLDR has been kind enough to write this code and support it through over 83 pages of questions. I think that a thread search is the least any of us can do for starters. Reading the installation instructions, which were pretty specific on a number of points, I only had a few detail questions based on how to interpret a given instruction. Since then, I have gotten some timely advice on how to tweak the code, and I am no coder.

Lay off the gift horse. He has a right to get frustrated.

I do think that a sticky post with popular questions and links to the answers would save NTLDR a lot of repetition, though...

well im sorry as i said though i did read but was under the nfluence that the shoutbox was installed with vbindex but ah well i dont mind so everyone be calm

sorry, I've read the whole 84 pages, but for some strange reason I missed half of the installation procedure

What do you expect when 90% of users cannot:

• Read the FIRST Post in the thread;
• Take in the instructsions there that say you need to READ THE THREAD AND INSTRUCTIONS before asking questions and that repeated questions will be ignored;
• Fail to install the hack properly even though there are step by step instructions on how to do it.

If you don't like the way I post, press ignore, I'll speak and give support how I like, if you want/need support then you better accept that. Its for all the reasons above that there probably won't be a newer version released here for the general public, its just not worth the time or the effort at the end of the day, which is why I've tended to keep and hacks modifications that I've made latly to myself.

Personaly I find it pretty reasonable for users to follow the instructions to install the hack and then search the thread first if they have problems. Clearly thats a stupid idea.
