I'd like to know how to prevent the font from being another color in the NavBar too. I need it to change it to how the rest of my links in the NavBar look. Thank you!

here's the product (v1.8) without the text formatting. just Import and Allow Overwrite.

If I click in the vBulletin-Settings > Cyb product > on the three phrase links there comes an error: "No phrases found"

If I'm searching via "Browse Phrases" there they are.

I don't edit anything before this.

Nice Hack.

1 Question. Is there a way to combine the two links in the navbar into just one?

Thanks

[Valter]

nathanrich,

It was one link previously but it was boring to expand menu every time when you want to search new posts. Believe me, you don't need this.

Nice hack, but I have one problem. I am using VBAvanced, and it will not display the number of posts when viewing the CMPS main page. Your help would be appreciated.
