My applogies, I have updated the hack since then to provide a little extra security/privacy.

The URL you need is index.php?page=images the template must still be called home_images though.

Hehe, glad to hear it

I noticed some small bugs that I just cannot figure out. <need sleep>

I changed my vbindex.php to index.php so the page is off my main domain name. However, I notice that when I try to click a user to see their profile off the main page it gives me an error, and I notice /forums is not in the url. The same thing when I have a PM pop-up message, and I try to go to my inbox from the main page.

I hope you can help NTLDR

Which link(s) does this happen for? they should all be prefixed with $bburl I may have missed one though.

The same thing when I have a PM pop-up message, and I try to go to my inbox from the main page.

Change your head_newpm template to:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function confirm_newpm() {
	input_box=confirm("You have a new private message. Click OK to view it, or cancel to hide this prompt.");
	if (input_box==true) { // Output when OK is clicked
		second_box=confirm("Open in new window?\n\n(Press cancel to open your $inboxname in the current window.)");
		if (second_box==true) {
			window.open('$bburl/private.php?s=$session[sessionhash]','pmnew','width=600,height=500,menubar=yes,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=yes,location=yes,directories=yes,resizable=yes,top=50,left=50'); 
		} else {
			window.location="$bburl/private.php?s=$session[sessionhash]";
		}
	} else {
	// Output when Cancel is clicked
	}
}
// -->
</script>

Again, just $bburl was added before the links

On the index.php page where it lists the names of who is online, you should be able to click their name to get their profile but it's missing a $bburl, and I can't find where to edit it...

I got the private message thing to work though from your above post, thanks!

Its the forumhome_loggedinuser template you need to add the $bburl in the hyperlink

Thanks, that did the trick!
