No I use ie7 .. but did check with FF - it was the same .... will stick with the original hack .. not keen on messing with technology too much lol

[halkum]

I like this mod! But I have a question

I would like to order my 'child forums' inside one of the 'parent forums' by date posted. To show the latest with activity at top, and the least active at the bottom. Can this mod do that, or do you know how to pull that off. We're only talking about one Parent Forum needing this (With like 20 childs) btw.

Some of my users are having that problem also with IE7.

Is there any way to hide Subforums from appearing inside the Parent Forum.

Thanks for the Hack :up:

AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Forum Listings Display Options

You will need to manipulate the settings for Depth of Forums - Forum Display and/or Depth of Sub-Forums to get the right look.

Not sure if it has something to do with my forum being a fixed width rather than browser related .. will keep an eye out for a possible solution.

Would it be possible to highlight / colour a particular subforum?

Is it possible to change the color of the MOD and ADMIN's from regular member posts?
