Recent Topics block error??

[pvcblue]

Ok I think I have this beat now!! YEA!! I went back to the original code thread, and re-edited my code as when you click to copy and paste code from here and then goto paste it it doesn't paste correctly. Now it works without error.

Now I just need to get rid of these columns in the picture if possible.

OK, well, I will let Freddy answer this since it's his code.

LOL!! Thanks for all your help tho Zar( and Lurk) had you not suggested the turn on/off javablocks, I wouldn't have found the solution!!

as when you click to copy and paste code from here and then goto paste it it doesn't paste correctly.

Funny you should mention this.  I've been having a issue adding php code to a block using IE8.  Paste the code into the box and wait and watch for a second or two, the code seems to wrap all of a sudden rendering it unusable.  This doesn't happen in firefox.

I'll add a new support thread for this later.

[Freddy]

Can you link me to the code you are using, ie which version... thanks.
