    Link backs aren't showing up.

    Link backs do not show up in my posts. I can see it says 1 link back. I click "see linkbacks" but nothing shows. Is this just not active yet?

    could you please check if it works with default vBulletin style?

    Yes it does. I fugured it was a custome style issue. Is there anything that needs to be in the postbit template?

    You can insert $vbseolinkbacks in your SHOWTHREAD template to define it's location.

    Can you explain this further please?

    What if I'd like it in postbit?

    The linkbacks table is displayed only once on showthread pages (at the bottom), so it should be inserted in SHOWTHREAD template, not in postbit.

    Oh, okay. I misunderstood and thought you were talking about the things in individual posts.

    Interesting. Looking at the plugin I got the impression it was trying to append it to $post.

    How is it doing it automatically in the default theme?

    Looking at the view source I see that it is already loading the link back code down at the pottom of the template. Its ust not having it's display attribute changed when you click the linkbit part.

    EDIT: Nevermind that's the menu bit.

    Ok, this is being caused by the fact that I moved the currently active users bit to the top of the page.

    In the default style you guys are merging it with that code.

    In default template it is inserted right before "activeusers" table if it is enabled or before similar threads table otherwise.

    So you hardcoded the placeholder and it still doesn't show up?

    Ok, I fixed it. I tried adding the comments in thinking you folks took the easy road but that didn't work. So, if anyone has moved their active users bit to the navbar or header template, just add this anywhere in SHOWTHREAD that you want the track back to show.

    PHP Code:
    <if condition="$show['activeusers']">
    <!--
    active users moved above thread-->
    </if>

    And if neither is enabled?

    Better would be to use the comments to pinpoint the replace code. <!-- currently active users -->
