Indeed.

The image is in the correct folder.

The template edits were very simple, so I am confident that I have done it correctly as per your instructions.

Still, It is not working for me.

check your template edit(s), a source view of your who's online page still shows:

HTML Code:

<td><strong>+</strong></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; User is on your contact list</td>

which is wrong.

Could you add this hack to this?

This should be fixed in v1.3 - try downloading and follwing the new instructions

slmoney · #19 01-06-2008, 05:02 PM

any way to convert this to a product? with a site having multiple styles available it is a pain to edit all those templates.

Actually, I was having this problem too, and I re-read the instructions. He's got it coded to go to sitename.com\images\statusicon\buddy.gif not sitename.com\forum\images\statusicon\buddy.gif.

It's a bug that happend in the latest version I believe, because I had it working in the first version, but not the new one.
