I'll try to add this as well. One question though, do you mean disable certain sites from showing on the module or what?

Thanks for that...What I mean it would be great if you could select which banners where to be displaid on the frontpage marquee. I am not refering to the actual top list page that is fine as it is... but it would be great to be able to select which banners are displaid in the marquee on the frontpage...I hope I am making sense.

Thanks

Here's another demo:

Derek, any possibility of counting all pageviews from all visitors, not just from users.

ie. My ultimate scenario:
You have a site listed in your toplist, that site has a rank button that changes...say today they're ranked #7 and that rank is seen on their own webpage on the button, so 7.gif is displayed on their page. In addition in toplist they will be ranked as #7 and the total number of pageviews will show all the pageviews that their site has received. Ranking would of course be by pageviews received and it would be ranked daily, or weekly or something. This is how it works on vivariumforum.com but the topsite is not integrated with the forum. It's nice to have sites ranked according to their true popularity, not just the popularity from within the list of members. I hope I'm making sense.

AArdvark has a great topsite, but it's not integrated into VB, which sucks. If you could add some of the features this mod would clean house!!!!

I'll prolly add that. Haven't been working on the hack because I've been really busy with school. Hopefully I can release a new version soon though.

You will make me very happy!!! I am sure that others will find that feature extremely useful too, especially that it will reflect the true statistic of how the listed site is really ranking according to unique traffic.

[derekivey]

Hopefully this weekend I can work on it...

What type of image are you adding?

Also I don't understand your second problem. Please clarify.

Thanks,
