Ok maybe I'm on crack here but I've followed everything to the letter within the 3b release at the start of those thread, and I get 1 of 2 errors depending on what I do with the jscript file.

1) if I use the one in the readme, when y ou hit + or - nothing happens. I see it zoom by with its call to the updatethread file but notta. This occurs on two different machine though both use IE6+ with XP.

2) if I use the one that adds the

document.getElementById('f'+itemID+'z').style.visi bility="visible";

line (in the template_options file included with the archive) then I get an error line 72 when I contract (object required) and at line 98 when I expand (object required). For the life of me I can't see the error so maybe you've run into it and I have yet to see this question asked in this thread which it may have but I have missed it :D

Anyways thanks for any help.

Works like a charm

Master Ares, for you forum setup you need to use the version in the read me and upon visiting your site it was obvious to me that your forumhome_level2_post template had not been altered to include... id="f$forum[parentid]z$z" $fhomeexpandstyle (hint <tr align="center"> where to put those bits is discribed in the readme. Additionally you need make that modification to the forumhome_level2_nopost template because you have level2 forums that don't contain posts.

Hah I knew I missed something:-) Thanks muchly

Works perfectly now:-) Thanks again. I put the changes in the forumbit not forumhome section:-P

Master Ares, easy enough mistake to make. ;)

Cool hack! Works like a charm! Easy to make mistakes with this one - follow the instructions CAREFULLY! :)

It seems to work here, but unless I've botched the install, I may have found a bug.

Lets say I go to the forums home page, and close all the sections but 2 of them. That seems to have worked fine - it remembers it, even when I revisit the site. However, if I open up a new section, then visit one of the forums inside of that section, then reload the forums home page, only my original sections are left open (i..e the 3rd one is still closed). Any ideas?

Another update. I've closed all the sections, then reloaded, and they are still closed. I open one, reload, they are all still closed.

incursio, does it remeber setting for any section you open after collapsing it?

as a test try http://<yourforums>/updateindex.php?fid=<categoryid>&val=0 where categoryid is a forum you have collapsed. That should expand the the forum.

I just can say:

Guys... THIS HACK WORKS GREAT!!!

Thank you so much dabean for coding it and for your GREAT support!!
