Forum Home Enhancements - Welcome Panel Template Rewrite

Introduction:

When I first installed Zero Tolerence's Welcome Panel, I found that it had a lot of mistakes on my computer. I set out to make a new template for the hack - and I succeeded. This template is my rewrite of Zero Tolerence's hack.

This Hack Made Possible By Zero Tolerance

Please Remove Zero Tolerance's Plugins When Upgrading from a Previous Version!

Hack Requirements:
This hack has one requirement:

1. vBulletin v3.6.0 or higher. (Confirmed working with vB 3.7.0 RC1)

Installation

Installation is a breeze! Follow these simple steps:

1. Upload Files into folders.
2. Install Welcome Panel Product
3. Customize!

Yes, it's that simple.

Um... Are you using vB 3.0.4? From your description, I can't help you much... If you'd like to PM me Admin Details I'll be happy to looking to your install, look at settings, and look at the problem. That may be more helpful.

Final Testing & Modifications of v3.0.5 will be made and released soon... Hopefully tonight! I GOT PERMISSION TO RERELEASE ZT's CODE!
