check back several pages buddy. that's been brought up more than once. ntldr took that feature out... but it's still in the template. you'll have to manually remove it.

hope that helps.

If you mean currently active users then as I've already told you numerous times, you haven't followed the install instructions.

If you mean number online today, then Buddha is correct it has been removed from vBindex v2.1.

ok sorted and did redesign but 1 more problem i have made tables for a few things but is there a way of making the Buddies list show

"You Currently Have No Buddy"

if you have none heres the code what do i change

// start buddies
// -------------------------
$datecut = time() - $cookietimeout;
$buddyuserssql=str_replace(" ","' OR user.userid='",$bbuserinfo[buddylist]);
$sql="SELECT userid,username,invisible,lastactivity
      FROM user
      WHERE (user.userid='$buddyuserssql')
      ORDER BY username";
$buddys=$DB_site->query($sql);

$onlineusers="";
$offlineusers="";
while ($buddy=$DB_site->fetch_array($buddys)) {
	if ($doneuser[$buddy[userid]]) {
		continue;
	}
	$doneuser[$buddy[userid]]=1;

  if ((!$buddy[invisible] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==6) and $buddy[lastactivity]>$datecut) {
    $onoff="on";
    $color="#00D200";
  } else {
    $onoff="off";
    $color="#FF0000";
  }

  eval("\$var = \"".gettemplate("home_buddy2")."\";");

  if ($onoff=="on") {
    $onlineusers.=$var;
  } else {
    $offlineusers.=$var;
  }
}
// -------------------------
// end buddies

If guests cannot view the board they cannot view vBindex.

[wolfe]
