With different styles calling menu items in different templates, I'm not sure one could cover all available options for an installation routine. However, adding the menu item manually is a fairly easy and straight forward task.

If there still any outstanding issues that have not been addressed either in this thread or over at v3A, just let me know.

What?! The nerve of your boss! Doesn't he understand that there are certain priorities that take precedent over work?

Is there any v3Arcade resolution change add on for vb 3.8.2?

Thank you for that Biker

Don't want to sound noobish but where would I turn off the link that v3Arcade adds to the navbar upon installation to add it back where I want it...say on a second navbar? I am still learning and did look on the navbar for it but didn't see it. I do know how to add it back but I need to get rid of the one that's there first.

I appreciate your help

[Biker_GA]

I've found it in the navbar template as well as the header template. If you're using a custom style, check the header template first. Seems a favorite place for some to stick menu items.

Thank you for that, I appreciate it.

If you don't mind I have another question that I asked over at v3arcade.com but haven't received an answer yet. May be someone here knows...

The question I have has to do with the trophys or crowns, etc showing. Is it possible to have your trophys show on the arcade page if you are the champion of the game but not show in the postbit?

If I turn the postbit option off in the settings then on the arcade page where it says "Want This?" and shows a trophy, it still says "Want this?" but shows a red X.

How would I accomplish the trophys showing in the arcade but not in the postbit? Is it possible?

[Biker_GA]

Yep.. I don't show anything in the postbit. Everything that relates to the the arcade stays in the arcade.

The images not showing is a bug with the newest version when you turn off the award in the postbit. I suppose it will be fixed in the next release. Post 209 confirms the bug.

OK, thanks for that. So, how are you not showing in your postbit? Are you using a previous version? Is there any workaround?

I don't want it in my postbit but I also hate that red X when I turn it off. Wonder when the new version fix will be out...

[Biker_GA]

Disable the arcade awards in postbit option in the General Arcade Settings.

I use Firefox. No red X for me.

Yeah, I did that and use Firefox as well. But the questions from IE users will drive me crazy and they think that there's nothing else out there no matter what you tell them.

OK, thanks again. Maybe the new version will be out soon. Hint, hint
