hi. i have tried many times to modify the overall_header.tpl to add a link for the statistics section on my site. each time i edit it (following the info file with the stats mod) i refresh my page and the styling craps out and i loose it all. (including the header)
i have followed the instructions of this mod and still my main header thingee gets stuffed. can anyone help me out?

What does the Statistics mod tell you to change in overall_header.tpl?

have solved the problem sorry. dreamweaver which i use for web coding was stuffing my code around and adding extra bits. i wish i had of used a txt edito, till i was browsing a forum on phpbb.com and found out that that could be a prob. never mind. thanks anyway. my stats mod and some of my own coding now work and i am happy with it (for now) although i wish i had of known earlier!

Yes, using Dreamweaver for anything but plain old HTML is risky IMO.

Anyway, happy you got it working! Smile

aren't there some options in dreamweaver that defines what code it is allowed to rewrite. You should be able to set it so it can't do anything on its own.
