I did - oh well, I wonder if the coder will take a look and let me know, thanks so much for trying to work with me on this.

[BizAdventure]

Well, great news! Found out a mod I was using interfered with this, and then when I fixed that with an updated version, it fixed this as well, so WOOT WOOT for me! It works!

[BizAdventure]

Ok, gonna try to get support again...

Seems that the columns don't work in the User Control Panel - I had a few subscribed forums listed in there and it threw the whole template out of whack - is there a solution for that?

[cbiweb]

Just a heads up to whoever it applies to: This add-on won't work if you're also using bobster65's Tabbed Forum Home 1.5.0 beta. There's nothing wrong with either mod, but they're simply not compatible with each other. Unfortunately I have to choose which mod is more important to me for my forums.

[Nook_Neformat]

Is there a chance to show descriptions of sub-forums on main page too? I will be glad if someone could answer me

[Anthony_RuBeZ]

When I installed the Tabbed Browsing Feature, this plugin doesn't work. Help? :?

also, I know this forum got it to work.

Go to vBoptions -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manger

In plugin Cyb - Sub-Forum Manager - CT AND Cyb - Sub-Forum Manager 1

change

if ($vbulletin->options['cybsfa_enable'] AND (THIS_SCRIPT=='index' OR THIS_SCRIPT=='forumdisplay'))

to

if ($vbulletin->options['cybsfa_enable'] AND (THIS_SCRIPT=='index' OR THIS_SCRIPT=='forumdisplay' OR THIS_SCRIPT=='tabforumhome'))

Never mind...solved.
