Did this modification cause that? I've tested it and never had that problem.

i noticed it after i installed this mod

So, that means after the mod was installed that box came in?

Must be the Welcome Panel, I don't imagine how it could interfere. Can we see your forumhome template code please? (Attached would be better thanks)

It is simply a matter of catching that with a conditional.

Yours seems to work the best, excellent work brother man

This mod works in beta7 if you skip the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post and put the width="240" insted of width="100%" in forumhome_lastpostby table

Jean147 · #30 10-18-2003, 01:10 AM

How do I get rid of this line? (See attached Screenshot #1)

Another question I have is:
How do get the cellspacing/border in the postbits and for example white, but the outside border of the table grey? (See attached Screenshot #2)

Anyway. Thanks agin for a clean EDIT. Nice work.

Just like it says in the instructions, iirc, to change the forumid number in the if conditional to fit your first category forumid.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
