I applied the corrected code for the Right Side Menu and it works fine now.

It was in fact the Div tag that was tossing it for me. I also have the "vBH - Add new tabs 1.1" enabled in addition to this and both work perectly !

I can plow through most code and figure out problems, but I am not so hot on which tags are used where all the time. Guess if I stared at it for more than 7 hours yesterday i might have figure it out... hahahaha

THANKS FOR THE FIX, and thanks again !

Question - I'd like to use this for a simple dropdown, but it doesn't seem to translate VB variables. For example, I'm trying to create an LI like this one:

<li><a href="usercp.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase user_control_panel}</a></li>

Is this possible using your hack?

Yes i Believe This is Possible if the code is correct and your useing Global Phrases!
I suggest trying it and see if it works!

Thanks!

[volarium]

Just to clarify, I did try it and it did not work. It did not translate the variable, it just listed the actual text "{vb:rawphrase user_control_panel}". Can you try it out on your site and see if it works for you? Would really appreciate it!!

Hi NJAquaman, look it.. it's perfect for what I needed I just had a question, I'm using another theme and the drop down menu works perfect only now when I go down the list the button at the top the background colour is gone and the text is black is there any way to fix that?

I've attached an image to what I mean.

Cheers

Works great. I removed the other tab hacks I used and removed the home/forum/what's new buttons and only use this. Does exactly what I need.
