If they wait for me to make a template edit, they'll have grandchildren.

In your FORUMHOME template

Find:

HTML Code:

 </table>
<br />
<!-- end what's going on box -->

ABOVE it add:

HTML Code:

 <!-- This Week's Hot Topics -->
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_hottopics')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_hottopics" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_hottopics].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><span class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[hottopics]</strong><span>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_hottopics" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_hottopics]">
$hottopics
</tbody>
<!-- end This Week's Hot Topics -->

Make a new phrase:

Quote:

Phrase Type: GLOBAL
Product: Hot Topics on Forum Home
Varname: hottopics
Text: This Week's Hot Topics

Done!
Enjoy!

I don't know what could be going wrong. I have not changed the plugin and nobody else seems to have that problem.

Hello,

Exactly how do I install this? lol I downloaded the package, and took a look at the install directions. Then I went in to the ACP to see where I Import Products, but I have no idea where that is to be done. lol
This is my first modification to a 3.5 RC1. Sorry for my ignorance.
