The 4 controls added are:-

Add below:-

Code:

<div style="float:right">

Make the change in the above code (in red) and add below:-

Code:

<div style="float:right">

Than i guess i won't get any answer that menus seen in demos are nothing more than a jQuery :]

If you have some forums set up as links, these icons are not appropriate.
How do I edit the template to not display these icons when the forum is a link?

Also in forumhome_forumbit_level1_post, the icons are not right justified in Firefox.

Don't add -

Code:

<td width="100%">

and it aligns fine in firefox . Same thing happened with me. I deleted that and it aligned fine.

Sweet!

Small problem with how they look in "Sub-Forums" page. Nothing that major.

Any idea how to fix? -
