then (the exact alteration is to add $expandcontract ).
martz: yes that looks correct.
Did that, and no plusses or minuses show up next to parent forums on forums home. Do note that I removed the on/off (check marks) from the parent forum bits on forums home, though I don't think that should matter.

Steve, I've looked over the hack you have installed change the forumexp function in forumhome_expandjscript to read.
PHP Code:
function forumexp(itemID) {
var fitems=new Array();
var i=0;
var csslevel =1;
if (document.implementation &&
document.implementation.hasFeature &&
document.implementation.hasFeature("CSS", "2.0")) {
// The browser claims to support CSS Level 2
// interface
csslevel=2;
}
if (document.getElementById('c'+itemID).style.visibility=='hidden') {
document.getElementById('c'+itemID).style.visibility="visible";
document.getElementById('c'+itemID).style.display="inline";
document.getElementById('e'+itemID).style.visibility="hidden";
document.getElementById('e'+itemID).style.display="none";
document.getElementById('f'+itemID+'z').style.visibility="visible";
if (csslevel==1) {
document.getElementById('f'+itemID+'z').style.display="inline";
} else {
document.getElementById('f'+itemID+'z').style.display="table-row";
}
// build element collection using w3c dom level2 methods
while (document.getElementById('f'+itemID+i)!=null) {
fitems[i]= document.getElementById('f'+itemID+i);
i++;
}
for (i = 0; i < fitems.length; i++) {
fitems[i].style.visibility="visible";
if (csslevel==1) {
fitems[i].style.display="inline";
} else {
fitems[i].style.display="table-row";
}
}
dostatesaveXP(itemID,0);
} else {
document.getElementById('c'+itemID).style.display="none";
document.getElementById('c'+itemID).style.visibility="hidden";
document.getElementById('e'+itemID).style.display="inline";
document.getElementById('e'+itemID).style.visibility="visible";
document.getElementById('f'+itemID+'z').style.visibility="hidden";
document.getElementById('f'+itemID+'z').style.display="none";
// build element collection using w3c dom level2 methods
while (document.getElementById('f'+itemID+i)!=null) {
fitems[i]= document.getElementById('f'+itemID+i);
i++;
}
for (i = 0; i < fitems.length; i++) {
fitems[i].style.visibility="hidden";
fitems[i].style.display="none";
}
}
dostatesaveXP(itemID,1);
}
The other change is to find the template you added the the Forum Posts Threads Last Post Moderator repeats per forum to and alter
<tr align="center">
<td bgcolor="
to read
<tr id="f$forum[forumid]z" align="center">
<td bgcolor="
If that modification works I'll add it to the hack readme
Martz: do you have phpmyadmin? to check that it is saving settings in the database.
SirSteve: cool and you need to add back the "function dostatesaveXP ()" found in the readme to the template.
It starts on
<!--
function dostatesaveXP (forumID, value) {
It's getting irratating that the settings are not saving... Also, I noticed in the status bar there is no "Error" on the page until I click the expand/collapse graphic...
