Hi,

Just a quick question. I'd like to set user controls as a drop e.g.

Member info
- My profile
- Settings
- Logout

I've set this up and used "{vb:link member}" (tried with " and without) etc... but obviously it displays "{vb:link member}" as literal string. Is there a way that these variables could be used?

[zeroality]

There's a bug, whenever you click on a link in the tab, such as memberlist.php, it loads the page fine but adds the Forum tab back to the menu even if you have it disabled. Then if you go back to the index.php, it disappears again.

Edit: I realized that the bug was only occuring with your pre-made tabs so I deleted them and made new ones. Doesn't happen now. Might wanna look into that.

Anyway to make the dropdown box tab have the same hover effect as the other tabs?

[Mind11]

Please notice that in new page are viewing forum navigation buttons, screens attached. Is it possible to change that?



Is it possible to change that?

Anyone have any ideas of what I missed along the way?

And it is a fresh install.

Any ideas?
