Side note: thats the second add on from you where ive had to go into the xml before install and remove <a class="bob"> Not that I dont like the class, but I have a dark style and the dark blue text makes it hard to see.

Where does the referrals.gif go?

I don't see any error logs to clue me into the expected path.

Use a text editor and search for the class="bob" and remove it. Then save the file.
Or actually you can edit the template in the admin cp and remove it that way.

Stupid me, I should have opened it up and looked. Figured it was an icon or something. :erm:

If you are uploading icons of that size, you are in trouble,
