Then I may have to update this mod and specify 3.6.8 only.

If you have followed the directions given at the beginning of this thread...then you shouldn't be having an issue.

After a little research...I have found that there was an update (3.6.7 PL2) that had something to do with the javascript framework.

It may be your version of vbulletin that is having the issue. I am using 3.6.8 PL2 and it's working like a charm.

I'll update this mod to reflect what it has been tested on. Anyone who installs this using a different vbulletin version...please announce if it works or not...please?

First of all...support is only given to those who "Mark as Installed". Secondly, this mod is not a mod in the direct sense. It is a DHTML script you can use for your forum and is available to all members. It was not meant to be configured within User Groups or Permissions.

I'm only running 3.6.5

and I uploaded the 2 .js files to the forums directory

I understand...

As I said before...it may be because there is an issue on how your version of vbulletin (3.6.5) handles the javascript. Version 3.6.7 updated the javascript framework. You may need to inquire within another forum if this is, indeed, the case. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with your version of vbulletin.

You also have to remember...this is a DHTML script and is not a mod, per say. If you have followed the directions I have provided for this script, then it should work. If it doesn't...then it's your version of vbulletin that may be the issue here...specifically, how it handles javascript.

I have updated this mod...reflecting that it has been tried and tested on vbulletin version 3.6.8 PL2.

Contact vbulletin to see if you need to update in order to fix the javascript issue you are facing.

I will update my version of vBulletin and see if it works. I appreciate the help!

Ok...
How can I place the Floating Menus in SubForums and not in FORUMHOME, and custumize each Menu to the Topic discussed?
In such case, where do I place the code or the files?

Hi there,

I would like to add a link to the users Buddy List and have it open in the reduced window as it does when opened from the "Quick Links" on the NavBar.

Any idea what I would put in menuitems.js to enable that please?
