Thats fairly obvios as the "Whats New" tab still apears.
After removing the suggested four lines, no more, no less, from the pagenav file.
The "Whats New" tab does NOT apear when browsing the forum but when on the search.php page, the "Whats New" tab still apears.
So while the code above (post 3) is right but also other code needs removing, to really remove the "Whats New" tab.
There is a section starting on row 9 in the modified code;
HTML Code:
<vb:if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">
That if block has to be removed and
also thecode starting on the row below
HTML Code:
{vb:raw template_hook.navtab_middle}
to the row above
HTML Code:
{vb:raw template_hook.navtab_end}
This includes the lines suggested in post nr 3.
I'm a newbie here so don't take my word for it.
However I would really prefer a CP function to edit the whole navbar....
