INTRODUCTION

Important information regarding file uploads for this hack:

To install this product, you must upload a bunch of files. The .htaccess file goes into your website root, and all other files go into your forum root. If your website root is different from your forum root, please open the .htaccess file and edit it according to the instructions in that file.

If there is already a .htaccess file in your website root, you must copy the contents of the file in this package and paste it into the one you already have.
