I have a problem where a custom tab added before uninstalling this product (to upgrade vbulletin to 4.2.1) is still there, but there's no reference to it in the standard vbulletin navigation manager. So I now have no way to remove that tab. Anyone got any ideas how I might go about fixing this?

You will have to do so through your database. Find the tab id in the database and delete it.

I believe this mod is not working with 4.2.1 as of now. I have updated to it and my drop down menus have stopped working. The menu name stays but nothing drops down.

Further it won't work in future versions of vB

There has been no support for this in nearly a year.
I think the Author was burned by vB over the vB German issue.

Correct

Just curious Ricktas, what was the vB German issue?

[tbworld]

I do not understand why users do not read the thread before trying out a mod. 'Ricktas' has graciously answered the "it's not working" question multiple times. I count 5 times within the last 25 posts.

'Ricktas' gets a gold star for his style and patience. I was about ready to use the '2x4' approach!

There is some commercial issue between vBSi and vB Germany (reseller) over vB5 -- not really relevant other than Andreas worked/works for vB Germany.
There was discussion on vB.com and on the vB Germany site

Thanks for this
Exactly what is needed for a staff portal!

Edit: Or not.. good feature, but broke my navigation layout. It's probably a CSS thing, but no time to start editing again.

Uninstalled.

Hi Andreas, awesome mod,

I hope you could update it for 4.2.1 so we can use the drop down

[AusPhotography]

4.2.1 has dropdown menu by default, we have uninstalled this and use 4.2.1 natively

As said before, it appears as if Andreas has lost interest in vB (with apparent reason)
