Re: A: R/M/W help with this code please - Posted By CåñåÐå™ (canada) on 23rd Feb 08 at 2:13pm
Ok i've tried it Wrighty and it didn't work but i did try it in a board on the main page (not a sub-board) and it works perfectly . FreeUS is right for some reason it doesn't want to work in a sub-board. Right now the code is out .
Re: A: R/M/W help with this code please - Posted By CåñåÐå™ (canada) on 23rd Feb 08 at 4:32pm
Ok my Affiliate board is no longer an sub-board so the code will now work fine.
Can you please luck this thread and my other thread ( http://support.virtualforums.co.uk/board/coderequest/topic/9562/action/view_topic/page/2/ross-affiliate-posting-form-to-be-converted/#reply-17 )
