hello simon i have installed as per your instructions.
however, inspite of the fields showing up in the user cp, i selected my loccation like japan and my star as cancer and sacved the changes. but there do not appear on the posts i made on the forum. i wanted to know where do these images appear? and if they are supposed to appear on every post i make, then why is it not appearing?

[Nadeemjp]

As shown in the image, the country flag is appearing fine but the star sign is not.

also, can you please guide me as to how i can shift the POWER below sign and country? (I mean in the new line)

thank you

thank you

where did you place the images (which folder in public_html)

dont forget you need to change the route in
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/starsigns/$post[fieldxx].gif" alt="Star Sign" border="" />

$post[fieldxx].gif ( fieldxx needs to chane to the field number for the custom field name created)

reply for more support

if you email me your postbit template i'll do it for you

dear simon

i shall mail you the postbit and postbit legacy codes. i did it exactly the same manner as the country flags. i know i am missing something out but couldnt put my fingers on.

i have put the folder in images/buttons/starsign
