When i install this mod, in default forum skin all works fine, but in some custom skins (CSS changes only) - bad. For example i create <td class="vbmenu_control"> with a border. And when i use this wonderful mod, on forum i will see empty <td> with a border.
In HTML source bug looks like this:
HTML Code:
<a href="calendar.php">Calendar</a></td><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?do=getnew" accesskey="2"></a></td><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?do=getnew" > No New Posts </a></td>
Second <td> is unnecessary and field between <td> and </td> are empty! Reason of this - line 65 in product XML.
