You either have white space after the ?> or you haven't copied and pasted the code in correctly.

Thank Buddha...I'll do a little research on that. I liked that option.

Indded you can copy the code from vBindex v2.0.1 like Budda said, it will still work but as some users seemed to get the record being reset I removed it till I can come up with an alternative.

david, i was checking out your site and noticed that you have the text set as the same color as the bg for the bottom table in the polls that contains the votes totals... the white table.
don't know if you were already aware of that... thought i'd let you know.

That may be the reson why it doesn't work, I know the smiles appear in my 2.2.8 testboard. I changed it to reduce the number of queries, like you said, its not worth it for the extra load.

The code you copy from index.php is only used to generate the users online bit, so it doesn't matter if its taken from 2.2.4, 2.2.6 or 2.2.8 etc..

thanks buddy.
it's too bad that it can't work without adding the querries... but i'll just have to make due without it.
i've installed far too many hacks to go through a complete reinstall of 2.28, so it'll have to do.

[NTLDR]

Not sure how you site and that is set up, but you could allways use IMG code or HTML to add the smilies, a pain I know, but its something to think about

[Buddha]

that's a good point, which i will keep in mind. for the most part, i cannot imagine i will need them that much.
if i do, for whatever reason though, i will remember that suggestion.
thanks bud!

[NTLDR]

No problem. If I get a chance I may do a test install on a test 2.2.7 board to see if I get the same problem as you

NTLDR - Do you take requests for other hacks?

[Buddha]

that request is along the lines of the one i submitted where people could have a collection listed on the forum. it's like the MyBookmarks hack, but it would be for a collection (yours is the concerts, mine is for dvds). no one ever commented on my request.

[groovesalad]

Buddha - Hmmm, that's too bad. I like the MyBookmarks hack, it's just not exactly what I need it to do. If only I knew how to change that hack, I would.
