Hello mkdevo,

This option will hopefully be in the next release. If not I will definatly include where to place the code to put the navbar in different places. But once I get time, i'll get round to making that option admin controllable

Thanks,

Marky

Hello Marky,

I upgraded and really love the progress....

Now on forums that have lots of pages.... the bar moves from below the original navbar to above, but when this happens, the dropdown menu on search and quick links doesn't work and causes errors on the page....

check here:

http://www.forums.repashy.com/forumdisplay.php?f=15

Thanks, this in one of the most useful plugins to date!

I just upgraded to 1.2 this is brilliant I wonder why it took so long for a hack like this this hack to be written. If you have to add anything else it would be the ability to add drop downs to the links . I installed this hack because I was trying to add more links . It lets you and links to your existing navbar . Thanks for the great work

I think this is a skin issue. Why do I say this? If you go to http://www.forums.repashy.com/showthread.php?t=1177 you will notice that the drop down when you click on a users name does not work either.

Now visit http://www.forums.repashy.com/showthread.php?t=1771 and it works..

Try removing the plugin and try that search drop down without it and also clicking on user names with threads more than 1 page..

I had a skin that done this very same thing. I had to get the developer to fix.. :surprised:

Hmm interesting

I'd be interested in finding out, so make sure you post if it's a problem with the skin or if there's still a problem
