what are those changes in the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post template coz i make many changes on it ! and its better to add those steps than to replace all its contains

The template change will make it look like the screenshot. In the readme.txt file, it contains the variables and a brief description of what the variable does. That way users can customize it to fit there needs.

Hello,

All went well except for one thing. After I installed this, I couldn't get it to work with the existing forums I have. It works great when new forums are added, but doesn't take effect with the other forums. Do we need to re-add all of the forums in order for this to work?

The options are there, I used them, activated them, and saved. Then I looked at the forums and it didn't work. So I went down and rebuilt the forums and then repaired/optimized the tables. Still didn't take effect.

Thats when I tried a new forum. That worked great. So I re-did the steps above again to see if it needed a kick perhaps, and still nothing.

Thanks for creating this. If I need to, I will redo all the forums. There are only 30-40 of them right now, so it won't be too bad. I am going to hold out on that however in case you find a way to force the new addition.

I am having that same problem too with my forum.

Hello,

Is it possible to make sponsors for Categories? I want to seperate my categories, but when a Forum is placed in a category, it kills the sponsor.

For some reason, they don't seem to get along.
