I want it to appear as a child forum, for example:

General Forums
- Chat
- Love
- Toplist (I want it here)
- sex

This is currently not possible.

Sorry.

Hmm, can you show me a screen shot or something of what happens? It seems to work fine on my test board... When you just click it, the normal vB drop down thing should come down to allow you to rate the site.

Hey Derekivey, I have a suggestion:

Can you make this hack so we can turn off the uploading of images completely, like a setting in the usercp?

Another nice feature would be the ability to turn off the "In", "Out" & "Views" columns as I'd rather not use them.

Thanks

Sure, I will add the feature to turn of uploading images... but those other ones, I decided not too add because it's too hard to get the alt classes to look right, if I did that they would all not alternate, some would be the same as the ones next to them, so I suggest you just edit the templates if you want to remove those.

Really don't need a screenshot but i can point you to the page. The link for rating sites from the regular not the random don't work unless it's right clicked and you select open in New window.

I made it so that guests can vote but I see that option doesn't seem to work. Is that a bug aswell?

I'll pm you an account login for now. Here is the link for my top site. http://www.trulyunusual.com/wards/toplist.php Like I said the random sites are ratable by just clicking but all the rest in IE and Firefox have to be open in a new window manually.

My bad When I reverted the templates it didn't carry over to the child styles hense the ratings no worky.

Thanks for checking this out for me Derek.
