I love this little ditty! Great mod dude!

I'm having a ball with this thing.

Here's just a few of the nice little sayings I'm using at politicalforums.net.

Most of the words actually mean something too

------------------------------------------------------------------
Working on web site discomfubilator settings.
Fumbling within the database.
Working on web site transmortation whistletips.
Programming <YOURWEBSITE> grandeosisms.
Transmorgraphying radiodescenceisms within the web site.
Reprogramming <YOURWEBSITE> fuel injection systems.
Searching for all references to Bush cause he needs to pee.
Wondering why Clinton is not spelled with a K.
Wondering why Republicans and Democrats don't admit they're one and the same.
Transmorgraphying diallamous syntaxtickers within the Admin interface.
Discomboobulating SQL database against foreign transmissions from aliens.
Wondering why we still aren't flying our cars.
Working on a new system to circumvent historical anachronisms through plain english.
In the Admin interface wondering what the heck to do now.
Thinking in grandiloquent terms till going into an abderian fit.
Extending his dactylion digit to the world.
In the Admin Control Panel admiring <YOURWEBSITE>'s daedalian design.
Deciding whether to take his meds for decidophobia.
Contemplating using defenestrating techniques on his computer.
Wondering why demitoilet has nothing to do with using the commode.
Wondering if a Republican can get dextrophobia.
Rearranging the diplasiasmus to prevent rectalgia.
Contemplating resistentialism.
Contemplating which is worse - aichmorhabdophobia or alopeciaphobia.
Creating amphigorical anachronisms to ensure he stays an anonymuncle.
Contemplating why computer screens are anopisthographic.
His keyboard has started astereognosis in his psyche causing borborygmus through xertzing.
Realizing that "rhadamanthine judicial system" would be an oxymoron.
------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course you'll need to change the <YOURWEBSITE> parts with the name of your web site.

Enjoy!

If you want more let me know. I'll come up with something.

This is fun, I have created some interesting ones and already got some people going, WTF.

[Hellraider]

You're welcome

Then I make the modification in xml, upload with the ACP xml.

Later I want to see in http://www.miforo.com/online.php, and it does not work, white screen

Some solution?

Thanks

[Hellraider]

What vB version are you running? I can't reach your URL at the moment (server could not be found)

Please try to download and install the mod without any changes and check if there are any problems.

If there are no problems: You made a mistake whilst changing the xml, if there are still problems: Please report.

[yeku]

Thanks, already installed and functioning perfectly.

Greetings
