I downloaded the files from here and then modified it in the new download. Make sure when you import it that you say to overwrite it.

It worked perfect for me...

Not sure how to upload a file..

I am in no way program literate and I was able to do it.

Just make sure that search for the line that was identified. I then highlighted it and pasted the new line over it. Make sure to include the ending semi colon.

Good luck

You need to edit the xml file before uploading it. Go to the file, right click on it, select Open
With and choose NotePad.

That's how I did it

Ok, you need to understand one thing.

You don't see this menu till you link at least one account to account you're using the forum. When you link at least one account, only after that you could see QAS switch.

You link accounts in UserCP. And it depends if you use my modified version, or original authors version if you're in allowed usergroup, or if the mod is just enabled.

Alan_SP in my user cp i dont see any option to link another acount as well

and i did

$template_hook['navbar_end'] .= $add_string;

with this:
Code:

$template_hook['navbar_after_links'] .= $add_string;
