Anybody knows what I could do???
You haven't edited vbiconfig.php correctly as per step one of the install. If your *positive* you have done it correctly try editing the '\' so its C:/Docuuments.... etc So '\' becomes '/'.

This stretches out that 3d column and makes it huge. Any suggetions?

Have you edited the templates at all? The vbindex_footer template should close the main table and appear in the center. This is probably caused by either the navbar or the vbindex_footer template.

Yes, I have edited the navbar template to add a few options such as a chatroom. I also have edited the vbindex_footer to add a link at the bottom of the page but my problem was occurring BEFORE I did the footer edit.

You've missed the closing </tr> before the </table> tag in your quick links custom block.

Ok, thank you. I've made that change, but it hasn't correct the problem unfortunately. I have another computer here which is still displaying the footer in the 3d column.

Take a look through the W3C validator and correct the problems shown there at least, there are far to many errors on the page for me to go through them all I'm afraid.

Whoops! I restored the copyright text ... sorry about that.

Any idea why I'm getting the same posts under the center news and my "latest posts"? The fix I found that you posted earlier only gave me a parse error.

Thanks.

What have you entered into the news forum ids option? The latest threads should exclude them automatically, you don't need to add the to the exclude option as that should exclude them from the news too

Are you sure you did the fix exactly as shown? Its works fine for me.

I have forums 3,4 for my news and also had them listed in the forum exclusion. After removing them from the exclusion list I made the code change again and get this error:

Parse error: parse error in /home2/www/numbmonkey/index.php on line 189

This is what the code looks like in my index.php file:

PHP Code:
// user configured forumids to exclude
if (!empty($vbindex['limitfids'])) {
    
$limitfids = array();
++++
$limitfids explode(','$vbindex['limitfids']);
    foreach(
$limitfids AS $key => $value) {
        
$limitfids["$key"] = intval($value);
    }
} else {
    
$limitfids = array(0);

I'm so stumped as to what I'm doing wrong.

installed like a dream.. only problem i got was when i tried to link vbindex options in the admin control pannel.

i have insurted

PHP Code:
construct_nav_option(construct_phrase($vbphrase['x_options'], 'vBindex'), 'vbioptions.php?''<br />'); 
after

PHP Code:
construct_nav_option(construct_phrase($vbphrase['x_options'], 'vBulletin'), 'options.php?null=0''<br />'); 
but the link does not show up, the drop down menu gets about 4 pixels bigger but not enough to see any of the txt. Its enough to click to get to the vbindex options.


Also when i was adding it i noticed that

construct_nav_option(construct_phrase($vbphrase['x_options'], 'vBulletin'), 'options.php?null=0', '<br />');

was infact

construct_nav_option($vbphrase['vbulletin_options'], 'options.php?null=0', '<br />');



please help as i cant figer out what is wrong
