Unfortunately, if I don't put a URL, the mouse will stay as an arrow, rather than changing to a hand when pointing to the collapse/grow image... This is something I want, so there MUST be a URL - I'm open to suggestions if you can think of something other than "#top" that won't break anything

Is there a way to enable this only for certain styles?

Not currently... I'll add that to the wish list

[djxcee]

My categories aren't showing total # of posts and threads. Not sure what's going on.

My setup:
Test Forum (category)
=> Category 1 (category)
==> Forum 1 (forum)
==> Forum 2 (forum)
=> Category 2 (forum)

Category 2 shows total # of posts and threads but Category 1 doesn't.

Categories and Forums BOTH work for me (although Categories look quite different)... PM me a link so I can see your site and give a more helpful reply.

I now see what you meant... The Parent of the Category or the Forum ONLY shows the number of posts actually in the included Category/Forum. It does does not add the counts of the Sub-Forums of those.

I'll add an option to include Sub-SubForum counts in the total to the WishList
