and

</if>

?

[LI Pets]

yes

<!-- Start Moderator Application -->

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="modapp.php$session[sessionurl]">Apply to be a Mod!</a></td></tr>
</if>
<!-- End Moderator Application -->

[HMBeaty]

No you didn't, you still have the </if> there

[LI Pets]

there were two

here's what I have

<!-- Start Moderator Application -->

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="modapp.php$session[sessionurl]">Apply to be a Mod!</a></td></tr>

<!-- End Moderator Application -->

Is that it?

Oe is it easier to just tell me exactly what you want there?

Thanks

[HMBeaty]

Yes, that would be correct

[LI Pets]

it's not there??

would it be quicker if you logged in to see it first hand?

[HMBeaty]

Hmm. You can PM me admin login info and I'll take a look and see if I can get it sorted out for you

[HMBeaty]

Ok, got it working for you. Since yours is a custom style and your links from your navbar are in a different area, you have to edit your header template for it to work.

[LI Pets]

Thank you very much.

Nice to have the Marines help us Navy guys
