Predefined template

[Sirie]

This code.


Is there any particular reason why this edited version of the code is not working? I placed it in the board footer, both with the use of the hack manager and without, and it still didn't work. Since I'm clueless when it comes to JavaScript, I was hoping one of your guys could see if I messed something up editing it..or if you can think of another reason it doesn't work.
