Add the styleid to the Banned Styleid list in the options
You can change Articles by altering phrase in phrase manager called 'articles'
Yes, but is there an option to have bbcode active all the time please? i want it to be active o articles.php. Im not exactly sure what you mean by disrupting i mean if you have bbcode active it wouldnt be disrupted wouldit? im not sure on that.

but my members has already complained that the text is compressed and get annoyed reading the article. So having bbcode active and withbr active is essential for me. Because my users do not clickfurther instead they prefer readin the article directly.
I cant findthe phrase Article. i tried searchin but couldnt find it

Yes but giving us the ability tocreate an own category without creating uncessary forums would be nice consider if we only want to create category with hyperlinks, a customized page that is located within the article and not redirecting to the forums.
thanks

Edit template* and use the following code:

HTML Code:
<if condition="$articleforum">Html code here</if>
*For comments edit template postbit or postbit_legacy

For article edit template af_firstpost

Or under categories edit template af_left_alt or af_left_alt

I'll be releasing next version later today, and that will have the fix in it, along with a few more options.

Fantastic mod, I hit the mod of the month button so hard that my fingers hurt!! Ace stuff!!

Will this mod be compatible in any form with vBadvanced in the future? I would like to use the article page as our homepage. Love the layout!

Keep up the great work bananaman
