No I'm not using that Adam. As I said above, I've not installed any other hack to this forum yet.
I just corrected the problem, using the "fix' in post #30 of this thread.

thanks!

Need help installing this. I have vbsponsor mod installed
How do I install your mod? Here is the modification I did to the level 1 and level 2

forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
FIND:
<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>

ADD, AFTER:
<!-- vBSponsors -->
<if condition="$forum[sponsor_enabled] == 1 AND $vboptions[sponsor_global_enable_sponsorship] == 1">
<div style="float:$stylevar[right]">
<if condition="!empty($forum[sponsor_adsense])">
$forum[sponsor_adsense]
<else />
$vboptions[sponsor_global_default_text] <a href="vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=$forum[forumid]" title="$forum[sponsor_name]" target="_blank">
<if condition="$forum[sponsor_banner_enabled] == 1 AND $vboptions[sponsor_global_enable_banners] == 1">
<img src="$forum[sponsor_banner]" alt="$forum[sponsor_name]" border="0" />
<else />
$forum[sponsor_name]
</if></a>
</if>
</div>
</if>
<!-- / vBSponsors -->

forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
FIND:
<if condition="$show['browsers']"><span class="smallfont">(<phrase 1="$forum[browsers]">$vbphrase[x_viewing]</phrase>)</span></if>
</div>

ADD, AFTER:
<!-- vBSponsors -->
<if condition="$forum[sponsor_enabled] == 1 AND $vboptions[sponsor_global_enable_sponsorship] == 1">
<div style="float:$stylevar[right]">
<if condition="!empty($forum[sponsor_adsense])">
$forum[sponsor_adsense]
<else />
$vboptions[sponsor_global_default_text] <a href="vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=$forum[forumid]" title="$forum[sponsor_name]" target="_blank">
<if condition="$forum[sponsor_banner_enabled] == 1 AND $vboptions[sponsor_global_enable_banners] == 1">
<img src="$forum[sponsor_banner]" alt="$forum[sponsor_name]" border="0" />
<else />
$forum[sponsor_name]
</if>
</a>
</if>
</div>
</if>
<!-- / vBSponsors -->

Works like a charm, However i had one issue with it:
As soon as i altered the forum_home by replacing the part of the what's going on box with

<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="tfoot" align="center" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">6<else />5</if>"><div class="smallfont"><strong>
			<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a>
			<if condition="$vboptions['forumleaders']">&nbsp; &nbsp;
			<a href="showgroups.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[view_forum_leaders]</a></if>
		</strong></div></td>
	</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />
<!-- end what's going on box -->

Just like you specified, the border on the right of my box using the browser Opera (all the other browsers work fine) expands like this: (see attachment)



How can i fix this? Help would be appreciated

[Marys242]

[Ohiosweetheart]

I've been using this on all of my designs now, I love it!
Thanks again DaPro

[m_k]

been using this everywhere - the look is so much better with the categories separated :-)

have just upgraded one of my boards to 3.6.8, and looks like there is some conflict however... any ideas?

[Plaggi]

Is anybody else having problems with 3.6.8.? I'm asking because I just upgraded and want to be shure that the modification works.

greetz, Sven

What kind of conflict m_k? Do you have a screenshot?

[AzzidReign]

For those running 3.6.8, I've taken the liberty of doing the edits and putting them into a TMS file. So if you have TMS installed, just upload this file and you're done.

Also, this was tested on non-modified templates. If this doesn't work, then it's b/c of your modified skin. Be sure to look on your default skin to see if it works or not. If not, please send me the link to your board via PM and I'll take a look.
