you need to edit your navbit template in the admincp and point your images to their absolute paths like i explained above. The links need to be updated in the footer template.

Also make sure that the referrals.php is grabing your global.php file correctly. To do this check the path in the referrals.php coding if you have moved the global.php file to a different location.

I know the number is changed yet to 2.4, but here is a preview of the next version to be released soon. If anyone has any other addons they would like included in this hack please let me know. WAITING TO HEAR FROM ALL OF YOU

ok, so I took out the "/" at the end of the link that I added to the bottom of my site and it worked. WTF? The first page was the only page that was screwed up.

I copied and pasted what was in the directions.

looking at your coding it seems that the header image for your website is trying to grab :

In which it should be getting:

This is why im lead to believe its not getting your global.php file or their is an error in your header & navbit templates.

Hmm, this is weird.

I've installed the hack following the instructions carefully. At first I got a blank page, so I skimmed through the thread and figured it was another problem. I switched to the default skin and lo and behold, the referrals page works. However, trying to view the page with any of the other skins installed, the page is blank.

I'm not sure what the problem is really =/ I always change the templates for all the skins at the same time when installing a hack.

I have researched this issue and the answer to your question is that 99% of hacks wont work under different skins unless they are setup as a child forum under the default. This is just the way vbulletin works

installed and works good!

Would it be possible to set it up so I can tell how many referrals someone has have actually paid for the subscription? I have registered members and platinum members. It would be nice if I could tell how many referrals of theres are platinum (so I could offer like a 10% profit for each member they get to purchase an account)

Yes, this is already integrated. You need to find out what usergroupid the paid subscription is and set this up in the referral statistics configuration area, located in the admincp.
