What font did you use? I will try and use the same font and make some for 'statistics', 'games' and others that may need it.

Ok, I tried to add "Statistics" to the list, I can't seem to get the text replaced on the actual link.
In the CP, it shows up, and I associated the image, but on the board, it's still jsut text.
Wouldn't that be a Public_Common.pl problem?

You hadn't updated public_common.pl if there is still text on the board display.

In public_common.pl I added "statistics" to the line "foreach my $gif" so that it appears like the rest of the line so it looks like... foreach my $gif(qw(forum_home profile directory faq search register active_topics ip_logged statistics)) { and in vars wordlets cp2, I added the following... q!style_statisticslink! => q!Statistics Link!, In the instructions, it says to modify "cp_styles" but I only have a "cp2_styles" to which I modded to last line to appear...

Looks like it's needs to be 'statistics_pntflink' instead of statisticslink. Your on the right track., in public_common change statistics to statistics_pntf. Untested, looks like it should work.

Another question... If you go to my board, the first couple buttons still have the "|" divider, while the others don't.

Would that be in public_common.pl?

Got those "|" out. Thanks!
Now, my last problem with this, is getting my "Statistics" button to work. Could you tell me what I need to call the statistics "thing" in each file?
In some places I called it statistics_pntf in others it's statistics and in another it's stasticslink.
Thanks!

my $static = join(" | ", @items);is a good one to replace, just take out what you need to; also some items have a |, so you'll need to nuke those...

well for statistics in public_common.pl it should be: # STATISTICS
push(@items, qq(<a href="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=statistics"><acronym title="$vars_wordlets{statistics_acronym}"><img src="$vars_config{NonCGIURL}/$vars_style{statisticslink}" border="0" alt="$vars_wordlets{statistics_acronym}" /></acronym></a>));

Ok, so I added those lines under/after the #Cosmetic section and before/above the #Calendar section. No joy.

I've tried this hack on 6.6 and seems to work, thanks, but Does this hack include the alt text for each image? Since it doesn't appear.

I actually know how to code that, but I guess what I don't know, is where that source is (which file) that I got when I did the "View Source" on the ultimatebb.cgi
Does that make any sense, or am I nutz?

How much $$$ to fix the code I killed on my site? The link works, but I just can't seem to make the image appear.

Ok folks. I need help on adding the Authority List also. Also when you're logged out, the hack to add the Login image hasn't been done.
If someone can show me how to do both of these, I'll e-mail you the images. I've done the Recorded IP also.
