Hi Jet Li

I installed the External_Boardlinks_V1_1a_Boardpass-compatible.mod version. and created the board as instructed. However, although the board is created here and is listed in forum.control & forum.master the board doesn't appear on the board.index page. Setting the password gives the same results.

Did I do something wrong? No errors in boardmod and have uploaded the files twice.

If I remove the http:// then the board appears on the board.index page but just as a normal board without the new link icon.

UPDATE:

I logged Out and it's working ok but login again and its gone ???

Jet Li. You beat me to it.   Please see my update above.

That new mod suggestion for letting you know if someone has just posted would be good here

ROFL, why not upload BoardIndex.template to all your Template folder? 

No Problem.  Still have fun with this mod.

thnx. I update first post with modified extern.gif 

done. But no in my text, because not a mod but a gif
