I am about to install this mod, but I am a bit confused about some of the steps to install it.

1. Upload all of the files in the UPLOAD folder.

Do I just upload this in root? Or in root/toplist? Or forum/toplist? Or does it not matter?

2. CHMOD 777 images/toplist/buttons/sites.

Do you mean "Create a folder directory images/toplist/buttons/sites inside your forums directory and set it's CHMOD to 777"?

I am really looking forward to installing this mod.

Ok, just leave it at 20 for now then and I will look at the code and see if I can figure out why it's not working.

You upload the files to the root directory. Your FTP client should take care of putting the stuff in /includes/ in the includes folder, etc.

I was wondering if the in links of this hack affect the page ranking with google?

eg does using www.monster-designs.com work better than using www.monster-designs/toplist/in.php.... etc..

I don't think it would. I'm not an expert on SEO though.

G'day derekivey, I was wondering if you had managed to fix the problem with showing sites on the forumhome?

I have 36 sites in my toplist and I realised I was having errors on the the forumhome and it took me half an hour till i realised it was this hack causing the problems..

I have turned off the forumhome marquee till i hope it can be fixed..
