вобщем нашел я проблемное место. это файл topic.cgi. в инструкции к хаку сказано:
Find: (may differ)
<td bgcolor="$postbackcolor" valign=top width=80% height=100%>
$editgraphic $partition $profilegraphic $homepagegraphic $emailgraphic $privatemessagegraphic $aolgraphic $icqgraphic $partition $replygraphic
<hr size=1 width=100% color=$tablebordercolor>
<font face="$font" color=$postfontcolor size=2>
$post
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="bottomline" bgcolor="$postbackcolor">
<hr size=1 width=100% color=$tablebordercolor>
<font face="$font" color=$postfontcolor size=1>Total Posts: <b>$numberofposts</b> | Joined <b>$joineddate</b> | Posted on: <b>$postdate</b> | <a href="$viewipprog?forum=$inforum&topic=$intopic&postno=$editpostnumber">IP</a></font>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
replace with:
<td bgcolor="$postbackcolor" valign=top width=80% height=100% colspan=2>
<font face="$font" color=$postfontcolor size=1>
$picon_pic Posted on: $postdate <ACRONYM TITLE="Click to send this user an Instant Message"><a href=$boardurl/ims.cgi?action=imwin&name=$memname onClick="Javascript:window.open('$boardurl/ims.cgi?action=imwin&name=$memname', '_blank','toolbar=no,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,width=275,height=275,resizeable=yes,status=no');return false;"><img src="$boardurl/ims.cgi?name=$memname" border="0"></a></acronym>
<ACRONYM TITLE="Click to add this user to your friends list"><a href=$boardurl/friendlist.cgi?action=adduser&adduser=$memname onClick="Javascript:window.open('$boardurl/friendlist.cgi?action=adduser&adduser=$memname', '_blank','toolbar=no,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,width=350,height=200,resizeable=yes,status=no');return false;"><img src="$imagesurl/images/friend.gif" border="0"></a></acronym>
</font>
<hr size=1 width=100% color=$tablebordercolor>
</td></tr><tr><td><font face="$font" color=$postfontcolor size=2>$post</td>
<td valign="top">$attachstuff</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="bottomline" bgcolor="$postbackcolor" colspan=2>
<hr size=1 width=100% color=$tablebordercolor>
<font face="$font" color=$postfontcolor size=1>$editgraphic $partition $profilegraphic $homepagegraphic $emailgraphic $privatemessagegraphic $aolgraphic $icqgraphic $partition $replygraphic $partition <a href="$viewipprog?forum=$inforum&topic=$intopic&postno=$editpostnumber"><img src=$imagesurl/images/ip.gif border=0></a></font>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
-------------------------------------------------------------
а в том topic.cgi который у меня эта секция выглядит по другому:
<td bgcolor="$postbackcolor" valign=top width=80% height=100%><font face="$font" color=$postfontcolor size=$dfontsize1>
$editgraphic $partition $profilegraphic $homepagegraphic $emailgraphic $privatemessagegraphic $aolgraphic $icqgraphic $partition $replygraphic
</font><hr size=1 width=100% color=$tablebordercolor>
<font face="$font" color=$postfontcolor size=$dfontsize2>
$post
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="bottomline" bgcolor="$postbackcolor">
<hr size=1 width=100% color=$tablebordercolor>
<font face="$font" color=$postfontcolor size=$dfontsize1>$ibtxt{'0212'} <b>$numberofposts</b> | $ibtxt{'3012'} <b>$joineddate</b> | $ibtxt{'0319'}: <b>$postdate</b>$view_ip</font>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
-----------------------------------------------------------------
и каким образом правильно перправить под этот хак я не знаю
может подскажешь?
