• Replace the Red Text with YOUR forum address.

STEP 4; Upload the Images:

• Upload the ?Male.gif? and the ?Female.gif? to the ?images/misc? directory of your forum?s route.

Not working.

[phoelapyae]

I tried many times, but not show in post.
Only Show in profile.



It's version 4.0.8.

I'am not able to find the text that I should change in postbit template

But how can I understand which template (postbit or postbit_legacy) I'm using?

EDIT:

I've found the answer:

"If you would like to run your board using the old-style postbit template, you can do so by going to vBulletin Options > Style & Language Settings and switching the Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template? setting to Yes."

But I'm still not able to found the text in postbit legacy template

EDIT 2:

According to me, there is an error in pdf file, because the text that I had to change was different (for a : sign). Should be very useful to correct the pdf file attached!

However now the mod is working fine!

Thank you so much!!!
