Sorry for being stupid, but where are the CP-based installation instructions?

in the Mod CP Addon.

Oh, I see it... Thanks for making it a bit clearer

Okay, I did the CP Mod Addon ... replaced the code in the three files for zzzzapping post counts ... and--it didn't work.

I think I have to update something in the Mod CP addon install. Will try to update tonight

Oh IAN! It's *ME* -- your favorite whiner!

The good news is that your revision to the CP Mod Addon worked in regards to making sure a post didn't count ...

The bad news?

Something in the POLL code isn't agreeable

I get this error message -->

Please inform the board administration of this error so that they may fix the problem. Thank you!

(I'm gonna zap that portion of the code for now since in the grand scheme of things, not too many members start polls @ my site)

I'll try to update this as soon as possible, however, I get cable internet today so I'm not sure when I'll be online again

was this fixed?

Try to add:

Code

use vars qw( @FNums $Fnum $ForumNumCount );

to ultimatebb.cgi, before the first line with "use vars qw".

I need this feature but I also need the quick reply, when I instealled it my quick reply disappeared

I tried to do that and I got this..
