Unfortunately the original coder hasn't updated this since it was released last May. I wouldn't expect him to at this point since the way it currently works will not work in vBulletin 5.

Since you have a custom template you will probably need to find a coder to get it working for you and that'll take some $$$.

In most navigation designs, when one hovers over the parent, the child menu opens up. That is a common standard and I am shocked reading that vBulletin apparently does not use that. At the minimum an option should be added to allow hovering to function to open menus.

The lower menu bar below the tabs should display the second level menu items there like the forum links do. I can care less about the forum submenu items if I am on my shop page.

Anyway to fix this?

Agreed. You should be able to have an item on the Navbar that's able to be selected & has a drop down menu.

Example, here's the Secretary of State website: http://www.state.gov/secretary/

You can click About State, & items below such as Mission Statement, etc..

You can code a custom navbar and edit the .css to fit your site. I may still have the coding around some where.

http://www.yoursite.com - goes to the default tab
http://yoursite.com - goes to the forum (this isn't working properly)

If you disable the template "Make URLs absolute" it works fine, but is that template important for another area?

I was just looking for a simple way to add the target value of "blank" to a link in Navigation Manager and found this. Works perfectly for my purposes. Installed and Thank You!

Am I able to add My Profile as an option in the Navigation Manager using this? All i've been able to do is get it to edit profile, not view profile. Also wondering the same about moving the notifications in to the navigation bar.
