[WorldCraft]

I've had issues with modifications in the past that add custom stylevars. The last mod that I installed that added custom stylevars ended up overwriting everything, giving me a completely blank stylevar list: http://gyazo.com/5a1122bd80167e9f33c...389?1349593243

^The above is what happened to me, and I was told by the makers of that mod that it was a bug with vB itself. I've since restored my stylevars, but will a similar issue occur with this mod?

[DragonByte Tech]

I have not seen this happen on any sites as of yet. With this mod or any of our other mods, and that entails thousands of installs. But if you want to be safe try it out on a test site that is a copy of your live site. I would be interested to know which mod that was that caused that

[tuRiver]

I want to display directly the content of the "forum" tab, is it possible? Without having 2 navbars

[DragonByte Tech]

I am not sure what you mean, could you clarify.

Chris

[tuRiver]

Sure Chris, sorry

I actually have (by default)

Activity and Forum items on the main navbar

Inside Forum activity, there are listed all the links i 'm interested in

So, i want that items to be on the main navbar always

Is it possible?

Thanks in advance

[DragonByte Tech]

Which version of vBulletin are you running?

Chris

[SpikedRocker]

Trying to figure out what style var the dropdown menu items use. Our dark theme makes it hard to read the dropdown items.

[DragonByte Tech]

If you are talking about the text that uses the stylevar, popupmenu_link_color found in the group PopupMenus.

Then you would have to disable them in the Navigation Manager, and make them as tabs instead of sublinks.
