When you update your board from any of the earlier 4.x.x version to 4.2version. You need to make a small edit in the navbar to make the new navigation manger to function properly in your custom skin. (If the auto merge fails for some reason)

Open Style Manager ? Your Skin ? Edit templates ? Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates ? navbar

Find

Code:

{vb:raw template_hook.navtab_start}

Select the code from {vb:raw template_hook.navtab_start} to {vb:raw template_hook.navtab_end}

Code:

{vb:raw template_hook.navtab_start}
        <vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'search'">
            <li class="selected"><a class="navtab" href="{vb:link forumhome}">{vb:rawphrase forum}</a>

                        <li><a href="{vb:link forumhome}">{vb:rawphrase forum}</a></li>
