Forum Display Enhancements - Tabs Add System for vBulletin 4 (sstab advanced)

Review:
This mod allows you to easily add and remove tabs on the navigation bar using the adminCP. Tabs can appear as "selected" after being clicked, automatically deselecting the other tabs.
You also have the option of indicating which groups are allowed and not allowed to see the tabs via usergroup id.
Tabs may operate as normal select tabs, as drop-down menus. or as links to external sites.

The Hack only use 1 SQL sentence to create All the Menu, no Template edition

I just noticed that when one of the new tabs is activated (added via this hack), the dropdown dialogs on my forum come up white. The links are actually still in there, but hidden. The dropdown arrows also change colour and blend with the background.

In the next version, the TABS selected (your own SCRIPT) should be a sublink menu.. not use the default sublinks Menu.
