// top posters
// -------------------------
if ($action=="topposters") {

etc etc

[NTLDR]

My fault, I didn't look at the code properly, try this instead of the code you inserted into vBindex.php

[Mr_P]

Parse error on line 121 which is }

[NTLDR]

OK, third time lucky :ermm:

This should work, I think I've been spending too long looking at code and vB :classic:

Do a quick find and replace in the code I uploaded and change {firstcolor} to { firstaltcolor} (minus the space after {) and {secondcolor} to { secondaltcolor} (minus the space again) this will use your boards default colors instead of red and green

Thank you, its comments like that which makes it worth while being part of this community and reasing hacks and providing help and support to others. I'll send you a PM

Many thanks :banana:

I remember when I first got vB and started adding hacks, I didn't even know what a template was, let alone where to find it and add/edit etc, lol

LOL just thought this has got quite a few addons on now aint it.

Thats the beauty of this hack, anything that was made for vB can be inegrated with it. I may do a addon pack in the near future

[Mr_P]

nice one goes to show does`nt it what is possible from a vbb board.

half the hacks on here have nothing to do with a board really and yet make the board every bit as unique to that person with the hacks installed.
