Any idea how I could post a sticky in the article forum that explains what it's all about, rules, usage policy etc?

Seems like the one big practical thing that is missing. Great mod by the way - installed

In vBulletin Options > Article Forum Options > Navbar Link, I chose Yes for 'Show link in navbar to articles.php', and clicked Save, but no link shows up in the navbar. Why?

Edit: Found the problem. Someone before me had removed

Code:

        $template_hook[navbar_buttons_left]

from the navbar template.

Anyone know of a way to remove the entire right column?

I'm really not finding it useful, since the titles are truncated, anyway. Meaning...I want to remove the Most Read, Most Commented and Top Authors boxes.

Also, if the right column can be removed, does this automatically expand the width of the center column?

Hi could someone please tell me in simple terms/instructions how to remove the breadcrumb & navbits from the article pages? Thanks!

perfect mods. Thanks.

Installed it and it is a beauty so far.

One question: I use as a story page on the forum. How can I change the "article" in "story" on the relevant places? I managed to do that on the navbar, but how can I do it on the page itself?

replacement variables?

Thanks for the fast reply.
I did a search in VBulletin phrases and tried the changes VB allowed me, but that did not work at all. (I have no coding experience!)
Not sure what you mean: make changes in the XML file? Sounds tricky to me.
