I am kinda leary on installing your mod versus his because of this and I am wondering if all this extra steps to install yours compared to his program is going to cause me problems or issues everytime Vbulletin comes out with a new version of VB or have conflicts with other mods or programs.

Im just trying to keep the least amount of hacks and mods out of my site as possible but still accomplishing what I want out of the site.

The less hacks the better, My last board was PHPBB and it sucks, what a headache.

I know exactly what you mean about having the least amount of hacks on your site. I learned that the hard way. When I first started using vBulletin years ago I went hack crazy and started installing all kinds of hacks on my site. But over the years of doing updates and upgradeds with vBulletin it became a real pain in the butt to keep putting these hacks back in every time you did an update. So now I have very few hacks.

You will have to decide which one is best for you whether it is mine or the other hack. I am not going to try and talk you into doing mine. If you think it is going to cause you problems later then do not do it. But it should not cause any problems and if it did you could just remove it. You are going to need to understand some basic HTML as you will need to with installing any hack. You are going to have to know how to edit the navbar to put your links into it in order for it to work. As far as installing the template this is what you are going to have to do.

Go into you ADMINCP and STYLES & TEMPLATES and go to your Default style and in the drop down menu pick ADD NEW TEMPLATE. Now name the template ?navbar2? and copy and past the text from the navbar2.txt file included in this hack into the template you just created. You will need to edit all the links in the template to the links you want in you new navbar. If you read through the new navbar code you just created you should be able to understand it if you know a little basic HTML. You might want to look at the code ahead of time before you install just to make sure you will be able to edit it and know what you are doing. It is identical to the default navbar template with the exception that I added a whole bunch of explanation in it.

It should not cause you problems installing it. Many othesr have installed it and have never ran into a problems. If you read down through the messages you will see that. But like I said you will have to make the decision on whether you want to install it or not. I am not a salesman and I am not going to talk you into it. I did not write this hack just to see how many people I could get to install it I wrote it because I did not want to clutter up my default navbar. When ever you do upgrades or updates it does not touch your personal templates that you created. There are pros and cons to both hacks and I have rambled on long enough. Sorry if I said too much. But I am here for support if you need help with installing it. I log on one or twice a day. If you have chat program send me a PM with the program and the name and I will added you to my chat and when I see you on I can help and walk you through the steps if you want or I might even install it for you if I am not to busy.
