With the greatest of respect, vBulletin 5 is dog sh*t. Why do you think so many major mod developers left the platform? There has been discussions on this very board where the staff have said this. There is extremely poor mod support in comparison to vB3-4 and overall, the platform is just extremely poorly made and thought through.

I've tried vB5. I currently hold a license for vB3, vB4 and vB5. I tried it during alpha, beta and the final release. I've tried newer versions. It's awful. It is NOT a good evolution of the software in any way, shape or form.

It's also the main reason you'll find many newer boards switching software to xenForo/IPB etc. It isn't up to standard. Many boards who updated to vB5 ended up either trying to downgrade back to vB4 or switch to an alternative software that is far better for their means than the absolute sh*t show that is vB5. The only issue with downgrading to vB4 is the fact it's EOL, so unless you are able to upgrade it yourself (or know someone who can) it's not ideal to do these days. Otherwise, vB4 sh*ts all over vB5. And then some.

OP, sorry for derailing the thread with this. But I absolutely refuse to be told vB5 is an adequate solution when it clearly isn't. I hope this project goes well for you.

kek vb5 is a dumpster fire of absolute shit lmao dont kid yourself

Does anyone know why the 'rate this thread' dropdown option doesn't work within this mod?
I can't seem to find why all the other dropdowns work, but this one doesn't.

I checked the default style of VB and it works there.

@cdoyle im working on something I HAVE to finish, but I promise you I am not dropping support from you, I know you been turning to me for help. As soon as Im finished with this project, i will be back on the xen project, so unless the developer has got to you by then, I'll help you resolve this.

Maybe it was when it first started off but as of now it’s not bad at all.

Thanks DR,
I really appreciate all the help you've given already on this :)
I've been playing around with the templates a little, fixed a few things here and there.

The rating one just has me stumped.

I've said this before, this is a great mod. Not sure why Christeris has decided to abandon it already.

He may not have, life has a way of throwing horrific curveballs at people sometimes (not suggesting it has, just a potential reason). He's probably just busy with other projects.

Another improvement to this mod I would like to see is with the navigation.

Currently in Desktop mode, it displays as if it's on a mobile screen. Hiding all of the options.

It would be great if when on a larger/desktop the navigation displayed like a true navigation across the top. Then when on mobile or smaller screens, it went into the mobile style.

In the navbar template, replace the following lines:
with these lines:
and in navbar_tabs template, find and replace with

I think there is a missing javascript somewhere. Inline moderation tools do not work in this style. The tickbox on posts and threads does not select them.
