just what i was looking for

One should keep in mind, that when javascript is turned off there won't be displayed any forums at all. Should have a workaround for that handy!

There is a very simple work around. Use the child style created in the initial steps (1-4) so you have a Tabbed Style and a NON Tabbed Style. The edits to the index.php file won't effect the non tabbed styles on the site. This is what I do to give my members a choice. Some don't like the Tabbed Layout, others do and for those that don't have JS enabled, they also have a choice ;)

I don't know many computer users who have Java turned off, or don't have Java installed at all. It has become a small issue though after Microsoft was forced to stop distributing Java with all operating systems.

I have a question about putting more than one category under a tab.

The instructions say the first number is the category number, what would I put if I wanted Category 13 and Category 14 to be in that same tab?

Multiple categories can be under the same tab. You still need to construct a forum bit for each one tho.. so you would do something like

In the instructions document, Tab 3 Sample is set up to display multiple categories, so just take a look at that part of the setup :)

Great job Bobster! *installed and looks nice*

Is there any way to use these tabs for individual forums also (instead of just categories)?

what did you have in mind for individual forums?

Well...

I noticed that when I tried to add one (using the forumid of a singular forum in construct_forum_bit function call), nothing appeared in the forumbit display for that tab. I'm guessing that a threadbit needs to be built instead, right?

I tried using the variables that point to threads in a normal forumdisplay, but they probably aren't in the index.php file or plugged in to the forumhome templates.

Thank you very much!
