There are several with different types of improvements: mReviews, NDreviews, NSN-Reviews, nukeMyReviews, NukeStyles Reviews, and maybe more. I'm not sure if any of these are current - i.e. whether or not they support versions 7.5 and higher, but you can probably find them by searching with the names.

You can add pictures to a review with HTML, but I assume you're looking for something that allows you to upload a picture when the review is created. If so, be careful since the ability to upload files is frequently used to exploit sites.

html tags dident work, I have them turned on in the forum admin, and it works thoughout the site but not in the reviews, and I dont want people to be able to upload files, I just want them to be able to add the pics into their reviews, I'll google search for some of those review add-ons, thanks

I haven't looked at them, so I couldn't say. It seems there are more messages about mReviews, but I don't know if that's because more people use it or because it has more issues. I'd check the readme files in the downloads for the functionality you're looking for, then, if one has it, see if it runs on your version of PHP-Nuke, is secure, and has decent support.

it with the one that is included, if yours is not modified then you can simply replace it with the included one.

Confused....News is for configuring News. There should be a separate admin function for configuring NDreviews.

NDreviews may use some javascript, which is why it's asking you to add some code to the my_header.php file. If you've already added code to my_header.php, you need to copy some code into that file from the NDreviews installation instructions. If you have NOT already added code to the my_header.php, you can probably use the one included with the NDreviews download. Make sense?

i think "MReviews" is my answer

the NDreviews kinda screwed things up, thank god I made a backup before all this
