Just what the title states...need a couple of copy/paste templates.
A text toplist template
a thumbs toplist template
a template to use for your site with the variables plugged in.
Especially the last one, i see use %%URL#%% and then use to= and various other legends for plugging in variables and values.
Use this on toplists, use this for thumbs...too frikkin' confusing if you ask me. Took me forever to figure which value to use where.
It shouldn't take hours to set this up in your template...no matter the thumb script. I had probs (my site ended up as blank page after all that work) with two different rotators on live sites, VanillaTGP and Comus, so i decided not to even attempt using this on ST.
