that a code typo... you probably typed something by accident there...

I understand whatyou are sayin, but I triple checked my code. I used my backup showthread.php file 3 times too.. I dont think I could do the same typo 4 times.

It does say line 508, is there any editor that takes me to line 508? I am just using WordPad to edit..

Thanks

[K_2]

Nevermind, went and found UltraEdit. Line 508 has this in it..

thats it. SO I deleted it, and still said the same thing.. Now, get this, I cant getmy forum back to where it was before, lmao! When I try to click on reply to a thread, it errors.. Thank God I have only 43 members.

:banana:

I dunno why there is problem on my side too? I got no error msgs, but the reply box didn't show up on the forum :cry:

Is there anyway that u can take a look @ my files? or something that u can check?

[TECK]

Guys, you dont understand one thing. A hack cannot be installed just like that... "Ahh well it doesn't matter if I dont read every single info or explanation included on install readme file"...

I see all the time people who complain that the hack is no good or there are problems and come asking here why it's not working...
Let me give you one advice:
PLEASE READ ONE LINE AT THE TIME EVERY SINGLE NOTE OR EXPLANATION.

Then you will see how easy it is to install a hack, even a HUGE one.
DO NOT RUSH IT. One little bracket missed can screw everything.
Take your time. Read carefully and make sure you understand perfectly everything BEFORE you proceed with any modifications in the file. Then if something is unclear, you ask here your question and I will answer, so you can go to the next step.

Comming up with questions like "it doesnt show up??" or "is not working??" makes me turn my back and never answer.
Study the hack, ask pertinent questions and I guarantee you, you will be a happy hacker.
You will understand better how the code works and you will not make any mistakes.

An example of pertinent question should be like this:
point 2 in functions.php modification
[high]I dont understand why the iif() function include only a value.
Also, where is located $post[icon] variable in the template?[/high]

So one more time, please ask pertinent questions.
Thank you and all the best.
