I noticed that it can't be upgraded from the last version to this one, if I import the product and enabled overwriting, it installed as new product beside the first release so I have now tow of this product and I think you should fix this or post a note for uninstalling the first one first..

Works for me... You may have had the version for 3.6.x installed (ID = Sorky01) and then installed the version for 3.7.x (ID = Sorky02) or visa-versa... That could be why and is something I've seen.

If you can repeat this behavior, PM me your URL and I'll have a look at your system.

Works for me (see Pic attached which is my "Test" that checks virtually all of the functionality - ugliness is for testing sake only )... You may have had the two installed when you saw this.

All works for me, and seems to be fine for "yingzhou"... Try it (you can always uninstall it and re-download & install 1.2.0)

When I exclude forums, I end up with formatting like this:

Sub-Forums: Reviews~=@=~127~=@=~1834~=@=~2 Freebies!~=@=~1549~=@=~15028~=@=~2 Showcase~=@=~476~=@=~6517~=@=~2 Tutorials~=@=~69~=@=~849~=@=~2
