Module won't show up?

[DarknessDivine]

Olay tell me what I did wrong...I followed all instructions on how to do this and all my other modules are showing but this one will not..no matter how many times I try it won't show..I'm trying to add a navigation type menu to the left with just text links like on vbAdvanced home page..here is the code I am using below..
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat"><span class="smallfont"><b>$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] Custom Module 1</b></span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow" width="100%">

<!-- Begin custom code -->
<A HREF="http://madmaddeals.com/forum/index.php">Forums</A>
<!-- End custom code -->

</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
It only has this one link for now..it's a link to my foums..This thing is driving my nuts..Any help with this would be great. ;)
Thanx in advance..

The module doesn't show up at all? What did you name the template? Can you show me what you entered for the different options when adding the module?

Template Name: adv_portal_custom_nav
Module Settings are as follows:
Title:Nav Bar
Template to include:adv_portal_custom_nav
Active: Yes
Display Order: 3
Users who can view: All
And that would be it..did I mess something up? I just added a java fading links module this morning and it worked fine..It's just every time I try to make one for links to the forum and such it won't show up...Maybe I'm jinxed? ;)

I am running into this problem with VB 301 and check the settings and there not showing up for me. I have to be missing something. I mess around and then they show up at the top of the page not as a block. what am I misssing here?

The PHP script you are including is echoing the content. It needs to be put into a variable, and then that variable added to your template.
