Description of problem

Hello,

Just today I decided to try and learn some of jqwerty stuff that I heard about lately. I'm pretty new to it. My case is that, I copied one of codes placed at forums here, and next put it in my forums, hoping to get jqwerty image menu, but instead I got a weird popup, that won't let me access my forum no matter what I'd be doing (I got it from here; https://help.forumotion.com/t124163-jquery-image-menu-cool-slide). Tried some popup blockers, but none seems to work properly at this case. Overall I can acces my admins panel, but cannot get into place where I put the code, to delete it (homepage message wasn't the right place I suppose) The message of the popup is "Plz stop hotlinking" I dunno any about it and I don't know if I did something wrong, while just copying code from forums. Is my forum a lost case or is there any option to get it back to normal?

Log into the utilities and use the direct connection to the AP: https://www.forumotion.com/utils .

I just tried it and it doesn't change a thing, since when I get into Display, the preview of my forum shows up and with it the popup.

Well then remove the codes you add.

But the codes I added are in the Homepage Message, and I cannot get in here cause of the preview popup. Is there any other way to delete codes from there?

Hello,

You can access the homepage message through the acp (admin panel). Just go to ACP-->Display-->Generalities-->Home page message . In the message box, simply remove the code and hit save. If you can access your admin through the admin panel link on your forum, then you can do it via the 'Direct Access' function in your founder utilities. This should resolve your issue if it is the code in the homepage message causing the issue, as you think it is. Wink

Yeah, I'm aware of that, but the thing is that after we get into Display the forums preview is being shown lower and with it comes up the popup. Overall, I did fix my problem by just doing the forums backup a few days before the error occured.

Anyways, thanks for trying to help me. Marking it as a solved case.
