Description of problem

Hello I followed the tutorial to add a like system or reputation to my forum. However when i finished all there is, is a button on the right side where you click on the minus or plus sign. I wanted the "thumbs up" button option. How do i change it?

You need to go to LGForum's forum. He is working on a fix.

Who is that? Can i get a link? I assume this is a common forum problem and this guy has the same issue as me and he is working on a fix?

Follow the instructions here? Also my forum is phpBB2, does that matter?

(Sigh) Well I see that. Unfortunately I am still not sure what to do about my forum. Sad

Thanks anyway.

Give this system a go it's much better and it don't need a host to host the data its all used using the system already installed in your ACP Smile

We use it here on the support forum and i also use it on my site and i love it you can even change the icons to your own

Uggghh, It didn't work. Nothing changed. It's still the plus mark and minus button on the side.

Did you add the CSS?

Also do you have heavy modified templates?

Do you have the JavaScript turned on ?

Yes, however I am curious if maybe this might be the problem? I have two java script codes under the java script codes bar?

I filled what it said to put in the CSS, and hit save. I was supposed to delete what was in it's place correct? What is considered heavily modified templates? How do i fix it?

Please use the edit button instead of double/triple posting.

You do not have to delete anything in your CSS stylesheet. Just add what the tutorial has and click the submit button, not the save button.

I came back to my site a day later, and the reputation system was there. Does it take time to come up? Either way it's there and the problem is fixed.
