It is fully phrased to make it easy to translate to another language if you need to. The users are able to add a site, edit, or delete their site if they added it. The Administrators can Edit the users' sites or Delete them.
This hack is for vBulletin 3.5.5.

OK i'm not sure if this helps, but the forum home images are all still registering as linked images... eg instead of refering to the uploaded images its refering to the images that i used to have a hyperlink to..

They shouldn't be. Make sure you reverted your Toplist_Sites_Code template so it has the new code.

[derekivey]

[loonytune15]

You can ignore that error, it just means you have that field already. Edit the XML file and find that query and remove it then try reimporting and selecting yes to overwrite.

Sorry forgot to include the temporary template edit. Currently it isn't detecting the correct code from the template, so you need to add a line to your FORUMHOME template:

FIND:

PHP Code:

<!-- end logged-in users -->
</if> 


ADD UNDER:

PHP Code:

<!-- Toplist -->
