thats because your server probably doesn't accept php scripts with other endings than php (AND the htaccess instruction is not accepted like on mine)

if i remember right.. i just renamed the image.png to image.php and changed the link all 3 times in the template (from image.png to image.php)

You would have to do some template edits to remove it. For example probably the Toplist_1 and Toplist_2 templates, to remove the ratings and the Toplist template to remove the table header for the rating column.

any ideas?

Has this problem been fixed? I just had a new member add their site in and its got the red x still..

[derekivey]

Should have been fixed. Right click the image and paste here what it is linking to.

Thanks,

I love this hack. One suggestion I have:

Allow affiliates to link to a version of the boards where they have defined the header and footer. This would encourage people to drive traffic to the boards because it looks just like their site. It would really allow the board to be a nexus of discussion from a wide variety of different sites.

Keep up the great work.
