Ok, old age has made me slow, the block in question will only have content when you enter links or anything in the Activate Personal Menu
option in the Your Account module's Your Home section, anything you enter in the personal menu will only be seen by the user that entered it.

It's a cool thing to offer site regulars, but it only allows like 4 links. I would like to see it made where they could have up to maybe 10?

I haven't checked if the ublock field will hold more data as they often are limited but that can be changed, as for being able to enter the data you would have to edit the Your Account module's index.php, specifically:

Code:

   ." <b>"._ACTIVATEPERSONAL."</b>"


   ."<br>"._CHECKTHISOPTION.""


   ."<br>"._YOUCANUSEHTML."<br>"


   ."<textarea cols=\"55\" rows=\"5\" name=\"ublock\">$userinfo[ublock]</textarea>"

Try changing the number of columns and rows, if the data saves without problems then no change is required to the user table's ublock field.

I'll check this sometime tomorrow and let you know how it goes. Too late for me tonight--I'm notorious for my late night/early morning can't sleep escapades.
I'm taking the smart way out this time and waiting till I'm a bit sharper.
Thanks for the help chatserv!

I tried changing

Quote:

"<textarea cols=\"55\" rows=\"5\" name=\"ublock\">$userinfo[ublock]</textarea>"

to
"<textarea cols=\"65\" rows=\"10\" name=\"ublock\">$userinfo[ublock]</textarea>"
It loads into the page and is accepted by the system ok, but still only allows 5 links.
Did I zig where I should have zagged and miss something?
