hey.. ok, so when I (the admin) look at the sites, i can edit, delete, and use the other option, bbut when i log in as another user, here's what it looks like.



you see the highlighted part which is in the red box? Why is that happening? Is a tag not closed correctly?

[Mr.D]

When will the new release be available?

This seems to be fixed in 1.1.10. Can you please wait for that version, as I do not remember how I fixed it lol. I hope to have 1.1.10 out in a few days.

Thanks,

No, that is not a bug. You did not set your In URL Setting. Once you do that it will work.

Derek, any way to clean up the code for tracking pageviews? If you look here you can see the iframe resulting in a small square right next to the button. Visible in IE, FF and Opera.

Thanks

[derekivey]

I'll see what I can do. I might be able to replace it with a transparent image, kind of like what vB uses for the cron system.

A new site has been submitted to The Tutorials's Toplist.
Please check it and if it looks ok, validate it.
Here are the details of it:

Site Name: Array[sitename]
URL: Array[url]
Description: Array[description]
Username: Damir

To validate it, login to your AdminCP, and click the Inactive users link on the left under Toplist..
