  1. it worked for me!
    it was be better we can set the parameters from admin panel not in file

  2. The count for the number of post each user has posted is inaccurate. It worked fine before, but for some reason, one day the count started over so that the entries from before weren't counted. How can I recover the lost counts? Is there a way I can alter the datatable or something?

  3. I like this plugin, but is there a way to have the number of posts display AFTER each name rather than under them?

    Also, there seems to be blank space above the list no matter what I do. Any clue how to fix this?

    Example in my sidebar I have:

    <b>Top Posters:</b>

      <?php show_top_posters(); ?>

    There is a blank line of space below "Top Posters" no matter what I do.

  4. @grassrootspa Hmmm.....I've managed to get the post count displaying to the side. I will have a look at the code again though, see how it is displayed. If could you send me how it is structured on the site (view source of the page - select "Top Posters"). That'll be great, thank you :)

  5. Thanks rhyswynne. You are the best.

    Here is what I have showing up under "source" when viewing via Firefox (site is SportsTalkPA.com):

    <b>Month's Top Posters:</b>
    <ul><a href='http://twitter.com/xmxcx'><li>xmxcx</a> (8)
    </li>
    <a href='http://grassrootspa.com'><li>Chris</a> (7)
    </li>
    <a href='http://www.daddyssugarball.com'><li>Bearcat</a> (4)
    
    </li>
    <a href='http://www.daddyssugarball.com'><li>DSB Max Power</a> (2)
    </li>
    </ul>

  6. You may have hit on something grassrootspa. That's horrible HTML. I will double check it with versions of the script I have on some of my sites, and get back to you with an answer shortly.

    It may also be a CSS issue though. What's the CSS that handles the li a & the li tags?

  7. Oh God, I am a bbPress newbie. Not sure if this helps but I'm using this theme (don't think I changed anything in the CSS that would have altered the default theme sidebar spacing):

    /*
    Theme Name: blank 2 column Right Sidebar
    Theme URI: http://refueled.net/blank-themes/
    Description: A blank bbPress theme. Matching WordPress themes available.
    Version: 1.0
    Author: refueled
    Author URI: http://refueled.net
    */

    Hey, even if its not fixed I'm going to keep using your wonderful plugin. In one day folks have already spoken up positively about it (they feel the plugin encourages them to post more!)

  8. That's okay! And thanks for the kind comments!

    One last question - what browser are you using? (Help > About [Name of Browser]). Version needed as well, as I've just checkedyour site in Firefox and it looks okay.

  9. Hmmm, just realized the spacing issue with the () numbers is with Internet Explorer 8

    Displays like this:
    xmxcx
    (15)
    Chris
    (8)
    Bearcat
    (4)
    DSB Max Power
    (3)

    Instead of:
    xmxcx (15)
    Chris (8)
    Bearcat (4)
    DSB Max Power (3)

    Also, in all the browsers there is a gap below above the first item which I can't seem to eliminate. Any way to eliminate the gap:

    Example:

    Month's Top Posters: (heading name I made)
    ***GAP****
    xmxcx (15)
    Chris (8)
    Bearcat (4)
    DSB Max Power (3)

    Want it to display like this (with no space above the first item):

    Month's Top Posters:
    xmxcx (15)
    Chris (8)
    Bearcat (4)
    DSB Max Power (3)

  10. Thought this might help: My site is http://SportsTalkPA.com/

  11. Hi grassrootspa,

    Odd! Not entirely sure what's up with this. My only suggestion is in the back end replacing the

  12. with a space, and
  13. with
    in the Start HTML & End HTML variables. And removing the list element altogether.

    Not ideal, I'm asking a forum as to what they think, but it may be a CSS issue :(
