They shouldn't be lagging. Can you post or PM the url to your forum so I can take a look?

What kind of image? Like an image that they can use to put on their site to advertise your Toplist?

Okay, I'm having a major issue with this hack, maybe it's me... maybe others haven't taken the time to notice it...

When people submit there site, it gives them a link for them to my site, for them to put on theres... but ... one, the link doesn't work... and two, the title of the link is THERE site....

ive made images to show you what i mean, becaus ei know what im saying sounds confusing...

take a look




They are submitting vegasimports.com on my forum... everything goes smooth here... but take a look at the next image.
--------





As you can see on the second image... the code says the text is "VegasImports.com" -- well, why would they link to my site on their site... but leave the text vegasimports?? that makes no sense. and something else is wrong w/ the code, because the link DOES NOT work.

please help me. thank you.

okay... i fixed the reason why there site name was being posted instead of my own...

i went into the tempelate manager, and edited the tempelate - Toplist_HTML_Code - i changed:

$vbphrase[toplist_html_code_message]:<br />
<textarea cols="40" rows="4"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/in.php?id=$sr[id]" target="_BLANK">$_POST[sitename]</a></textarea>

to

$vbphrase[toplist_html_code_message]:<br />
<textarea cols="40" rows="4"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/in.php?id=$sr[id]" target="_BLANK">my site's name here</a></textarea>

now... the link still doesnt work, but displays correctly... if you cut and copy this:

http://www.chowcow.com/forum/in.php?id=2

which is what was created in order to keep track the ID... it doesn't work.. it just keeps refreshing the page...

whats wrong here guys?
