Wow now that's a great mod. Thanks!

[Guardsman]

So this shows what sites link to the topic NOT what sites the topic links to?

Either way, I don't see anything.

EDIT: Ah... the instructions didn't mention setting up in the Tools and Setting page. All is good thanks

Hmmm. Any idea why this should happen?

Anyone?

[Martin]

Have you rechecked the template edits?

[Guardsman]

Tried that before asking here Martin.

[Martin]

I thought you did so.

I don't have a test board on this computer, and I'm not able to download it either (sucks to be sat as "Alternate Contact" at IPS).

Do you have that bug on all skin, or just the one you showed me?
Could you give me the URl to you site for me to check out the HTML code?

[Guardsman]

The skin I showed you is the ONLY skin on my board.

Why would you want to see the HTML code? It's exactly as your edit requires.

[Martin]

I would like to see them since I don't have a development board here. By seeing the HTML for it, I might be able to find a solution for it.

[Guardsman]

The HTML source or the template bit?

[Martin]

HTML source.

Sry, but how could i check that this mod works? I tried come from google to my forum, but still it shows the sign None!
Could you advise, about what could be the problem.

[Martin]

It should show up if you search on google, or some other search engines. Remember that you have to enter a topic when searching, since that's the only place this mod works on

EDIT: I just remembered that some browsers don't send the "HTTP_REFERER" value. If you don't see "&noref=1" in the address bar after entering the topic trough google, your browser is one of them.

[NetJunky]

Tnx. It works. It's just the indexing of my forum is kind of low. So not much to search for.(((

What if you place the code where you were supposed to add it?

[Nuno]

Hi,

Excellent work, thank you for making it available!

Only one request if possible:

Would it be possible to list the referral links on the bottom of the first topic instead of the javascript button?

I've tried doing it myself to avoid writing a feature request but my coding skills aren't very advanced.

Thank you very much!

Wont that get pretty annoying when you get a lot of referrals?

[Nuno]

If a topic gets at least 10 referals then I'd suppose it is an important topic.
