No Problem .

I have a question when will the new update be and when will there be a text links available for forum home or entire vbulletin to show as top list or as random list?

I have found 2 bugs buttons show on the forumhome page when they are not validated and aproved.

And email that i get when someone post a link to topsites is not good.

I currently do not have an ETA on the next version but am working hard to finish it. I've just been pretty busy with school starting. I'll try and get it out soon. I'll try and add the text link thing to the next version as well.

Ok, I'll look into that. I probably forgot to update that part.

Okey.. i have two questions

A) i have problem with the Userranking. If the rotate banner not displayed in the same category, there ar no rankings from the user displayed.

http://www.xbox360gamertag.de/Forum/toplist.php?cid=4


B) Does the Hits from the other side counted? If the private Usershomepage displayed 600 times, are the counter on 600 also? Ore just counter the "in klicks" from the button from the other side?

I wanna a stats, how often the other side be visits. Does that mod do that?

(sorry for my bad english)

I'll look into the first thing. It might be a bug.

For your second question, the hits on the user's page are counted under the views column, if they added the hits code to their site. If they add their in link to their site, and people click that, it counts as 1 in hit and also adds 1 to the views count.

I am currently working on adding stats to the next version, but do not have an ETA for the next version yet.

awesome. What do i put as the in link? Can someone help me?

[derekivey]

Any URL you wish. Most people type in the URL to their forums, and some type in the URL to the Toplist.

[DementedMindz]

any plans on caching the images cause they seem to take the longest to load and I have them uploaded to my server.

[derekivey]

I will look into this. Although the browser should already cache them because I don't have it sending any no-cache headers.
