arcade link

I installed it and it doesnt show a link to it anywhere. When I opened my forums in a firefox browser it showed in quick links. in IE it doesnt show anywhere. I wanted a link called arcade up top with my other icons on top.. thats how i see it on most forums anyway...

any ideas?

You will have to edit the navbar template to include the link.

hmmm, thought i did that....

ill try it thanks!!

Oh, totally missed you can see the link in quick links. If it's showing up in quick links, but not on the main navbar then you made the edit in the wrong place. I suggest you re-doing the edit in the correct place.

i cannot see it at all using IE. Only using firefox.

im trying to get it up top by itself with all the other links ( forum, usercp, quick links, etc).

here is what i have

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function log_out()
{
	ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
	ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1)";
	if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))
	{
		return true;
	}
	else
	{
		ht[0].style.filter = "";
		return false;
	}
}
//-->
</script>

btw im using the dark_vb_v2 - yellow fluid template

Try your header template. I don't see the navbar buttons code. Often it is moved to the header.

thanks!! that worked great!!

but now its different text and a different shade then the other links... how do i find what the other are?

sorry for all the questions...

[da420]

What's the code you're using to add the link?
