I'd expect it to be part of the CSS, but I'm not an expert in that area. I'm guessing something to do with image position/border

An easy thing to try that I can think of would be to make a new expand/collapse icon that is wider with transparency where they overlap ;-)

AWESOME - That is exactly what I thought was needed, by my knowledge of CSS was not up to par!!!

Summary..

Find (or Add): ".subforums" in the CSS
Change/Remove/Set: "top: ###;" <adjust to suit>

Hello,

Subforums overlaping each other using IE8.
When i change window size for some pixes (dragging from the corner)everything comes back to normal and one under the other (this happends only if i use more than 1 lists)

Anyone able to get the subforum mod to work with the YUI tabbed home mod?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showt...ghlight=tabbed


Need to get it together, but dont know where to add on the code or fix it.

I am reworking a site and have the Tabbed Forum Home mod already installed - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=233135 and have now installed Sorky's subforum list control and so far it looks like they are both working with each other nicely. A match made in heaven!!

Thank you so much :up:

I found a major issue with your product.

When you are on FORUMHOME and you minimize a forums block, it closes everyone below it and not just the individual block. I disabled your product and it fixed itself, so it is coming from your plugin.

Can anyone else try this and double confirm, thanks.

This is a Default vb4 Template with just the Skory plugin turned on.

Can anyone show me a forum that works without the plugin collapsing all forums below it?

Question:

Is possible to add this in the forumdisplay too? I mean if
I have Pattern Category I see the plugin in action
In a child category of the Pattern I still see the plugin in action
But I want to display this in the forumdisplay too, this would be great when you have a lot of subforums.

Thanks
