Ok. I tried to figure out where to add &nbsp; or <br /> but couldnt figure out which file the moderator names were coming from. Anyway, as long as you know.

The alpha-4 swfuploader extra was not working with IE (actually another bug in IE). It works ok, as far as I can tell with Firefox. It also appears (as far as I can tell) to handle uploads bigger than 100MB, so the Flash documentation is inaccurate. The beta 1 release of LDM will correct these points.

Awesome.

Im having a similar problem (I also use subdreamer). Can I simply remove those 3 dropdowns? I dont really need them anyway, and also, can I remove the Sort by?

Thanks!

I see how that bar is used for a lot of other things, Can I instead remove the bar completely for anyone but admin?

Also, I tried removing the vertical-align: codes but it didnt seem to fix it. Seems to not work in FF and IE.

The LDM navbar is coded in the links_header template. It is actually set up to work in both a drop-down and flat style, with rather fewer items on show with the flat style.

Take a look at the template and you will find this sequence:

$header
$navbar
<if condition="$show['popups']">
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
...
</table>
</div>
<else />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
...
</table>
</if>
<br />
...

The part in the "if" clause creates the drop down, and the "else" produces the flat style. So if you replace the "if" statement by

$header
$navbar
<if condition="0==1">
...

you will always get the flat style. Similarly you can modify the code so that only admins get to see the bar by wrapping round the whole if-then-else another if statement which tests on the value of $vbulletin->usergroupid (=6 for admins).

Hi Andrew, since removing that code my forums aren’t loading up correctly in FF2 now

http://www.djpassion.co.uk/forums/

Well im not 100% sure whether its removing that code which has caused it or not to be honest. But the last time i checked the forums in FF2 just under a year ago they loaded fine though. I remember checking. A lots been done to the forums since then though like vBulletin updates. Could you please check in case installing the ldm hack as changed anything though as im not getting a reply from vbulletin.com and subdreamer.com cant work out what the exact problem is. Would like to narrow it down as to what could be causing the problem.

Any help would be much appreciated

Rgw problem I can see with FF2 is that the box containing the navigation bits and user login is disappearing off the right hand of the screen. This does not happen with IE.

As far as I can see, this is being caused by another part of your subdreamer css, I think the lines:

#wrapper
{ width: 760px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; background-color: #FFFFFF; }

It happens regardless of whethet the div statement is commented in or out.

I'm a bit surprised because this was not happening at the weekend when I last looked at your site, so I wonder whether something else has changed.

[webgeek247]

Hmmm well I tried playing around with the css earlier today but could not seem to figure out what the problem was. I check several hours later and the problems gone now though. I thought subdreamer.com staff fixed the problem but they say they never. Did you end up fixing it Andrew? I hope so otherwise ill never know what caused the problem
