OK, after much troubleshooting and reinstall to get this running as I described, I have come to the conclusion that I cannot get it to operate properly and there may be a bug.

I am running vB3.8.1 and using the install on this page for the hack. (I did have the old one installed but overwrote everything for this install)

Anyways, I have the admin group set to the child style, as well as the mods and smods.

The mods and smods still revert to the parent style though, and I have found that I cannot select and enter an individual mod or smod userid to force the child style onto also.

So basically, any mod or smod cannot be forced onto, either by usergroup, nor userid.

As a note, the only difference to my parent/child styles, is I have google adsense in the vb advert templates for guest and member view, otherwise they are identical.

Some assistance is greatly appreciated as this modification is one of my fav's.

thanks in advance
