also if your collapsed tab disappears

remove from the MEDIAWIKIFORUM template

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var IMGDIR_MISC = BBURL + "/" + IMGDIR_MISC;
var IMGDIR_BUTTON = BBURL + "/" + IMGDIR_BUTTON;
// -->
</script>

there is no need for the BBURL any more, so defining IMGDIR_MISC = IMGDIR_MISC is just not needed and therefore can be removed

Thanks that fixed the side bar. Now for the bar across the top. That's broken also.

I have also written (actually isolated from vbwikipro) an addon to link duscussion tabs to the forums (creating new thread if no discussion exists etc)
If there are more people wanting this feature let me know and i will try to see if i can put it up somewhere

for a working example see my signature

Has anyone used Liquid Threads with this addon? I'll be honest and say that I have not tried this extension in a "neat" environment yet (MediaWiki in its own environment, no integration).

What happens is that when I'm not logged in, I can expand threads as normal. However, once I'm logged in, I cannot expand threads. I can still view them via the "history" link, but I cannot view them in a "normal" mode.

If you need details, request a PM and I'll send all the particulars there.

The URL for LiquidThreads is http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LiquidThreads

Thanks.

UPDATE: The extension does work in "neat" 1.16.0 MediaWiki. Any ideas?

UPDATE 2: If you clear your preferences and set them afresh, you're good to go.

NB: I'm using an existing wiki that has been in operation for about three years which might be part of that problem.

@Lord Doys
How do you fix the bar across the top (abovebits in Mediawiki Template)

to make it float right again:

find in vbmediawikiforum.php (~line 955):
<ul class=\"popupgroup forumdisplaypopups\">" . $html . "

replace with
<ul class=\"popupgroup forumdisplaypopups\"style='float:right;'>" . $html . "

but to fix it to make them line up again...

the problem lies in the watch.icon css.. i dont have the time at the moment to figure out (didnt upgrade my live forums yet either)

play with these settings
/* Watch/Unwatch Icon Styling */
#ca-unwatch.icon a,
#ca-watch.icon a {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
outline: none;
display: block;
width: 26px;
height: 14px;
}
#ca-unwatch.icon a {
background-image: url(images/watch-icons.png);
background-position: -43px 60%;
}
#ca-watch.icon a {
background-image: url(images/watch-icons.png);
background-position: 5px 60%;
}
#ca-unwatch.icon a:hover {
background-image: url(images/watch-icons.png);
background-position: -67px 60%;
}
#ca-watch.icon a:hover {
background-image: url(images/watch-icons.png);
background-position: -19px 60%;
}
#ca-unwatch.icon a.loading,
#ca-watch.icon a.loading {
background-image: url(images/watch-icon-loading.gif);
background-position: center 60%;
}
#ca-unwatch.icon a span,
#ca-watch.icon a span {
display: none;
}

Thanks for the Hint.

Wow. Wow Wow.
