Looks like there is a some angry moron running around voting peoples mods a 1. I think a mod needs to look into this.

I was considering doing something like this for our site re-design back in July. Good to see someone figured out how to do this in version 4.

Something is off here... I followed it to the spec and it adds the new button, however no drop down... it adds the menu items that should be in drop down after the button. I also noticed that it drops the search bar all the way down to bottom of site for some reason.

I also have the product : vBH - Add new tabs 1.1 installed, and even disabled it.. same results.

It appears that some phrase is not ended correctly ? I am not good enough with all code to figure it out. (I can usually figure most things out but this one escapes me)

*Edit forgot to mention... no fancy styles.. just regular VB Modified here and there.*
