How many top-level forum categories do you have?

I recommend taking a backup of your forum database before doing this.

You can run this SQL Query to enable the options listed below for ALL forums and categories however it will also change ALL of your top-level forum categories to look and act as forums. You will need to edit the options under the forum posting options to switch them back to top level categories.

Allow BB Code
Allow [IMG] Code
Allow [VIDEO] Code
Allow Smilies
Allow Post Icons
Allow Thread Ratings in this Forum
Count Posts Made in this Forum Towards User Post Counts
Show this Forum and Child Forums on the Quick Navigation menu


You will need to change to query to match the table prefix you are using. For instance, I'm using the "vb_" in front of all my vb table names. You should be able to run this from the maintenance section of your admincp or you can use phpmysqladmin.

UPDATE TABLEPREFIX_forum
SET options = '360135';

I'll try to add these options this weekend to the addon. Let me know if you have any questions.
hopefully this will make things a little easier. This was tested on vb 4.1.10.
