I installed this, but I deleted it because it gave a greyish like background, and the sub forum words was smooshed in with the description text of the parent forum.

Rated, Installed and Nominated of course

Thanks Sorky.

Question: Will this version upgrade my existing installation of 3.8 version? I think not because you have changed the productid.

[Alex@Mk3OC]

Sweet, thank you for updating this, tagged it for install tonight

Works good for me. Is there anyway to get rid of the "sub forum" text?
