Same here, I installed it and nothing changed. I have it set to 3 columns and have the "Depth of Sub-Forums" set to "1" . I'm using 3.7.3.

Any Ideas?

[gfxhelp.com]

Could we get a txt file of the changes maybe? Perhaps the reason the people with custom templates are having issues is because the template changes are not being made automatically?

Edit: I got it working was a stupid mistake on my end. I was wondering if anyone knows the name of the template for the subforum though, I want to add my RSS icons.

I would love to have this mod but due to the problem with it making my page wider I can't use it

It is a great mod and it works perfectly besides that one problem I know that other members have had the same problem but I have not been able to find someone who has been able to fix this.

I have tried may times to ask for support but I cant get an answer, even if I can get an answer that maybe It is not possable to fix this problem it would be good. As I dont know whether I should persist with finding an answer.

Any help would be great.
The only problem that I have is that it makes my board wider

I don't understand why everyone is having problems with this? I have been using this since 3.6.x and upgraded to 3.7.x. Worked fine.
Upgraded the forum manager to the newest version as well. No problems at all.

For those of you having margin problems, you might want to have it not show post count if you have 2 or more rows. (If you leave the post counts, you will have a lot of scrolling problems.)

Doing that does not fix that problem
I did fix my problem, all that I had to do was to change the last option in the vBulletin option > sub forum manager > CSS 3 - inner table (cells), all I did was delete this option.

I looked at not showing the post count and making it one row

Just because you dont have problems with it it doest mean that others wont

The problem with this mod is that there is no support for it
I have posted about 8 posts here asking for help and I never received one answer from the mod designer.

I thought that this is what this site is all about, providing mods and support for them,
most of the other mods I have had great support but for some reason with this mod support is only given buy others who have this mod.

Thanks for replying Baldilocks this site need more members like you
