Up where it displays your username on the navbar, generally, it adds a drop down menu directly following your username.

Cheers kayvin, thats the same area as it shows in the pics, which is where i was expecting to find the dropdown menu, but for some reason its not happening on my site, I will have to look into it a bit more, its not showing in the usercp either

Would it be possible to add the dropdown link manually to my navbar?

[Kayvin]

Is this a custom template, and if so, have you checked to see if it displays properly using the default vBulletin template, and see if it appears, because QAS shouldn't have had any trouble plugging into that one at the very least.

Oh, and Psionic, not sure if this is fixable or not, but if I'm logged in as an admin when the site's disabled (cuz I was doing upgrades), and I wanted to test the QAS after I added it. I tried switching to a non-admin account, and that worked fine. But when I was on my non-admin account, seeing the board is closed notice, it would still let me open the Account Switch dropdown, but my linked account wasn't displayed, so to get back in, I had to log out and log back into my admin account.

Not sure if that's because of what vB disables when the site's locked down, but I'm wondering if that can be adjusted at all.

I have been unable to unarchive the files. I am on a mac, and have had no problems with unarchiving files of this format before.

Ive done a bit of digging, and it appears that the error is caused by all the dots in the file name. Could you provide a simple file name version for me please?

[akanevsky]

Could you please just rename the file yourself?

[BigDog56]

Where in the admin cp can you link? Nevermind, I figured it out, lol

[BigDog56]

Works great, once I figured it out, lol. Thank you! This is handy for my wife and I.

[Julie]

Works like a charm right out of the box! Awesome mod, thanks!

I installed a new style and the dropdown next to the name isnt showing. It shows up fine in the other styles I use but just not this one. Is there a way I can get it to show in this new style? http://www.christianfellowship-net.c...php?styleid=22

Thanks!
