None of the avatar fixes in this thread are working for me. I think it may have something to with the fact that I'm using 3.0.7 ????? Does anyone have it working with 3.0.7?

[carolmyt]

I just installed to version 3.0.6, and its working fine except . . . Their are no numbers next to new threads and new posts. Any ideas why not?

[Ducky_05]

What what the navbar code look like if I wanted the avatar in the middle table?

[Clayton]

have you guys added the image of the default avatar to the correct folder??

[Praet0rian]

I got it to work, But the display is messed up. I get this:

For who it uses more languages has put the vbprhase and something more

I ask like is made to remove the line to six of the guest avatar? Thanks

hello
jancarlo

ps: pardon... you must add this new phrase: "$vbphrase[new_threads]"

[midnightz]

Overlooked but important!

The bottom vb stats have a " , " included to break large numbers example

1,258 or 78,524 etc...

Please see attached images. Is there a fix for this with the welcome panel?

Thanks

[SmasherMaster]

I HAVE RISEN FROM THE DEAD! Jeez, alot of new replies, for sure. A recent complaint brought to my attention over MSN, showed me that in this part:

Open Template 'NAVBAR'
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Find:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<!-- breadcrumb, login, pm info -->
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Add BELOW:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
<!-- Welcome Panel Hack V1.1 [] Created By SmasherMaster -->
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'">

KILL that <if> line, unless you have VBadvanced.

Midnightz: Yes, do this change.

Replace

<div>$vbphrase[threads]: $totalthreads, $vbphrase[posts]: $totalposts, $vbphrase[members]: $numbermembers</div>

With

<div>$vbphrase[threads]: $totalthreads $vbphrase[posts]: $totalposts $vbphrase[members]: $numbermembers</div>

As for everyone else, looks like you've found a ton of problems, if everyone could post after this one with what their problem is along with a more descriptive or even link to their forum i'd try to give it a spin.

EDIT: I'm not sure about this, with me not using vB anymore and having a very outdated version, maybe 3.0.7 somehow screws up the hack, i'm not sure.

Hi, Welcome back!

That did not work for me as the commas are still not present and showing.

another idea?

Thnaks

[SmasherMaster]

Check the phrases $totalthreads and such and see if there are any commas present at the end of the phrases.
