It's working great! BUT, I have a popular template hack, the Forum Posts Threads Last Post Moderator repeats per forum (look here: http://www.sirstevesguide.com/vbportal/forums ) and it would be nice if it also cleared that table row when collapsed. My other hangup is the expand/collapse gif is smack agains the forum name, where is this bit so I can add a space after it so it looks nicer?

forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost is the template! :D

change it to:
<td colspan="6">$expandcontract& bsp;<a href="forumdisplay.php?s=$session[s

(without the space between & b ;))

and u have a space ;)

By the way: Your Forum doesn?t remember my settings also!

(You can delete my account! Just want to test it! ;))

Thanks. I tried it but no go so I had to add a non-breaking space (&nbsp;) and it worked. :)

Now, about that other issue... ;)

It remembered my setting... ??

First you read my post during I was editing it cause I made a typo! hehe

2nd: Try this:
close all categories
refresh
open one
refresh and look if it is still open!

I tried it and it was closed again! ;)

hmm... you are correct. Like 1 out of 10 times it works...

Can u please try it with netscape to?
For me it was the same problem!

ps: I would change the graphics!
I have made my own ones and if anyone wants them I have attached them here! ;)

You need to have a forum depth set to at least 2.
This hack can only collapse forums that would normally appear on the forum home page.

SirSteve: I don't have that hack installed I will look it over and produce a extension to add collapse support for it, when I have time.

All: rapidly expanding/contracting groups will cause it to forget the setting because IE/Netscape queue HTTP requests wait for the background load to happen (notice that collapsing/expanding causes your progress bar to start loading something), Netscape 6 takes slightly longer than IE.. but settings are saved. One extension I would love to provide is a status icon to show the settings being saved but IE lacks support for assigning the onload event dynamically :(.

If I understand u right dabean I have to wait longer so the changes can take effect!

If I collabs forums I can do it as fast as I can and a fast refresh doesn´t matter! It remembers the settings!
But the expand setting isn´t saved (I waited 30 seconds and the loadind was done long befor the refresh!)

Can u plz recheck your code or maybe recode the expand script so that it remembers it correctly!
I don´t think that this is a browser Problem:
a) netscape has the same problem
b) the collabs is working without any problems!

I have reinstalled this hack from scratch and it doesn't remember any of my settings. :(

Any advice? I'm sure tje zipfile in your first post is outdated, I can't see any differences between it and the one without saved settings.

IF u find red code in your readme you have the right file!

But if not I have attached the right one!
