Thank you it's working now. One question, is there a way to switch it so that it doesnt use the postbit template for replies and instead uses postbit legacy?

Another question, when I click the forums link on forumhome to get to the articles the link URL will be:

/support-articles/

but when clicked takes me to:

/help-articles/?c=188

after adding vbseo custom rewrite rules for article.php.

Is this okay?

The search isnt working for me and displaying all articles from all time.

Also, I cant find where to create a new article either.

Thank you.

Sweeks,

DB errors seem to arise when you try to choose a forum in Article settings while you should choose a category.

bananalive,

You're the man! It's just the mod I was looking for. Nomination for MOTM, definitely.

Actually, the display options/search is fine, I got confused on how it should be used.

But I still lack the new article creation

Yes it is working for me now when it is a forum and not a category. I just cant find where to create an article now.
