I have installed the non-Ajax version of this mod due to:
1. The current Ajax version will never go out of Beta as version 2 is being developed
2. Having tried both now I feel the Ajax version is slower then the non-ajax version
3. I don't like the way the forums drop and the getting forums line and graphic is displayed

So, I have the non ajax version working great, very fast, displaying multiple categories on each page - I have a generic category that is displayed in all tabs and a tab specific category.

A couple of things though:
1. The tabs don't display a focus when manually selected - the first tab always displays the having the focus - how can I fix this?
2. I need about 12 tabs - this is going to make the Forum Home template extremely large - is there a more efficient way?
3. I use the "How To Put A Space Between Each Forum Category" tip at vBulletin (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=156783) and unfortunately I no longer have that space between the categories any more - any suggestions?
4. As I have a generic category that contains about 10 forums displayed on each tabbed page can anyone suggest how I can have the tabs below that generic category and when each tab is selected the screen doesn't go to the top of the page?

Please see attached images

Thanks King Kovifor - I have just installed the Ajax version and I will have to wait to get the "Requesting content" and image removed in the next version unless you want to PM me with the solution.

So with the Ajax version and my 4 requests:
1. Is no longer a problem and works properly
2. Is also no longer a problem as all I need to do is just add 1 extra line item per tab
3. This is also fixed and interesting to note is that the Ajax version accepts the space between categories mod without any imapcts
4. This is the only thing I need help with:
As I have a generic category that contains about 10 forums displayed on each tabbed page can anyone suggest how I can have the tabs below that generic category and when each tab is selected the screen doesn't go to the top of the page?

Thanks!

Oh, one more thing...can I make a suggestion to be included in the next release?

Have it so a user can select in their control panel which tab they want selected as their default - thanks!

Will this mod work on a 3.5.x version of vBulletin. It looks brilliant...

I will add it to our internal tracker, but I won't guarantee it for 2.0.0, but I know admin set defaults are already coded into v2.

That's exactly what I asked a few posts back lol. Here's the response:

Oh well, if we are asking for things perhaps it would be good, and make it more of a professional integration, if the search, advance search, new posts etc only displayed items that were specific to the tab that you are on.

If for example you have 150 forums spread across 10 tabs and the user is only interested in the forums contained within one of those tabs (i.e. forum categories) then it would make a more pleasant user experience if the search was only the forums in the tab they are interested in, or new posts only displayed the new ones in those forums and not every new post spread across all 150 forums.

Just a thought - and asked by my forum users :)

For me, this seems unfeasible. As switching between tabs would make us have to use AJAX to change the quick search query after extracting the category ids and allowing sub-forums in the search. I will add it to our tracker, but most likely won't see it for a long time.
