and replace it with:

Hmmm. Apparently nevertheless still a few bugs

Yes!!! But, that fix worked like a champ so that means one less to contend with.

I know it's a dumb question but I got lost between your two posts Bad_Madman

so now we have two files to download one is

avatar_hack.zip

and the other one is

automatic_install.zip

so what exactly we are supposed to do

follow the instruction in the first zip or just upload the files in second zip file and use the sqltodos.php and then run the avatar_hack_install.php

please if it's possible clearify this

and thanks alot

I am using vB 2.0.3 on another forum that I help, and when I installed I get this error when I try to go to Add or Modify

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare getrowbg() in /*/*/public_html/forum/admin/adminfunctions.php on line 83

Here is the code in that part of adminfunctions

// ###################### Start getrowbg #######################

function getrowbg () {

// returns the current alternating class for <TR> rows in the CP.

	global $bgcounter;

	if ($bgcounter++%2==0) {

		return "firstalt";

	} else {

		return "secondalt";

	}

}

Ok, well I got rid of the error by deleting this part of avatar_categ.php

on line 5:

function getrowbg () {

	global $bgcounter;

	if ($bgcounter++%2==0) { return "firstalt";

	} else {return "secondalt";}

}
