Notes

>You have to increase the amount of images to use in a post through your admin cp, because this mod use images and it counts as post images.
>If new png quotes pictures don?t appear immediately in your old messages, don?t panic and just wait ; your forum ?cache? (don?t know if it?s the correct word ? ?memory? would be may be better) must be adapted. Any way it will works with new messages.
>I give you the PDF file so that you can modify if you want the quotes. Now it?s easy to do. I give you also a picture that helps you to localise where each segment of the PSD goes.
>Of course i?ve tested this hack, both in IE and Mozilla, and it works great (I?ve change the original code to make it work).

Update : Natch has update his hack, but the new code of january 2005 doesn't work for me. It's goal was to avoid to specify the width and the height of each png pictures. To install Natch's old hack (the one that is working) GO THERE

Check if you installed the old Natch's hack version.
