York1 i have the same exact problem! it pisses me off. i really really really want to get this working. does anyone know how to fix it?

Well I read the old threads from when it was in Beta and some had the same trouble Tho I tried the ways explained in the old threads around that error and Still no lukc for me

I'm having the same problem fellas. The thing is with me, it made a blank space between the display name and the member number. No status is shown at all. You can see it here:

(just a random post)

Help is needed... How do we correct this?

Hmm ... did you use the SHW for this hack by any chance?

qasic

no, i didnt

evotex, can you ICQ or AIM right away - 10488369 / kalokf.

Thx.

qasic

I used the SHW file for my install And only problem was the error I listed above

Hello.. I am a REAL newbie at hacking, and installed this hack on 6.02 & 6.04 and it worked like a charm!! It is a GREAT hack and my 5800+ members LOVE the ranks!

Thank you so much for making the hacks & supplying them for free!!

Denise

evortex's problem fixed: he didn't hack my code in correctly

Everything else who is experiencing the problem involving blank lines, try entering this dummy data (with membernumber 00000000):

00000000|!!|Nothing

q

for some reason when you load op the admin to edit it, a space is put in Custom Ranks Override box, as its empty it makes a space, thats whats doing hte error

That is correct ... UBB automatically does this for some reason

qasic

Thanks qasic.

Adding that dummy rank did the trick. This is a GREAT HACK! Thank you again.

Well I still cant git it to work using the SHW for install

York1: I'm going to have to look @ your board personally.

Send me (via PM or e-mail):

1)Link to board
2)Password to an user/admin account there
3)FTP url
4)FTP l/p

Thx.

qasic

YGM and thanks for the help

York1's problem fixed. His was twofold:

1) He entered an incorrect path for Custom Titles; he had two // in the path for some reason.

2) He forget the Backspace trick. You need to backspace on seemingly Empty Fields EVEN THOUGH they seem empty. Backspace until it's impossible. It's a quirk within the UBB software unfortunately. I may be using this server for testing purposes later on to see if I can quash this annoying bug.

qasic

Thanks for the Help Its working great now
