I did get an email notification of your previous response, and I see your edit above - I'd like to clarify a few things so that we're both on the same page.

I've been using vB since v2.x and I am pretty familiar with it's functionality. I will say that your plugin, with it's ~20 options, does not compare to the hundreds of options vB has so it doesn't put me off or confuse me.

Your instructions appear to be incomplete, they state very broadly in about 5 steps what to do but do not go into any further detail. I installed per the instructions, I re-read the instructions numerous times, a scoured the web looking for better/more complete instructions, I compared and scrutinized all your screenshots (some links are broken btw), and I spent a good two hours digging through your code and vB trying to figure out why it wasn't working prior to posting here for help from the developer.

I saw a few posts here that indicated there may be some issues on 4.2.x but I wasn't about to read through 58 pages of posts to locate in lieu of just posting myself for a more direct response.

Our install of vB 4.2.0 is out of the box with very few modifications and the forums are not even active yet. We have posted a few blogs and articles, setup the forums a little, and that's about it.

My point is that there shouldn't be any major conflicts. My issue is that even following your instructions to the letter my installation only resembles one of your screenshots. (the productforums.php page)
