I have upgraded and I have a small estetical problem:

I have selected to show 2 columns and the table is not splitting the entire space in 2 but is saving a small space on the right side like is having another column or the subforum box is 70% out of the outer box table. If you select more columns than 2 the same small space (aprox 70% of the outher table) is divided in columns and the rest of space is empty.
You cans see here what I am talking about
Before it use to have fluid settings for the table (like I am using a wide monitor and I had only 2 columns very wide. Now I have 2 columns fixed and empty space on right side.
I have trimmed the names of the subforums barely to fit the previous setup with 2 columns. If the space is smaller it looks funny.

Looks to me like you have both the 3.6.x version (Sorky01) and the 3.7.x version (Sorky02) installed

Hi there,
thanks for the updates.

I have a little a problem after upgrading from 1.4.1 to 1.5.1
1.5.1 doesn't overwrite 1.4.1 but installs beside it?

and yeah, both are Sorky02 versions!

how come?
any idea about this?

No ideas at all.

I just loaded 1.4.1 and them 1.5.1 went straight over it - no problems...

I know you'll have fixed it by simply removing the old one (after copying the settings), but if you can work out a reliable sequence that reproduces the problem, I'll be glad to check it out.

i have cyb subforum installed already. will sorky 1.5 overwrite it automatically or do i need a manual uninstall and then install sorky1.5?

[Nadeemjp]

Also Sorky, I am not too much familiar technical talk. please can you specify from where I can enable this hack to follow the style colors and not the same colors for every style?

I can't (& would not) replace someone else Mod.

Not sure how they would interact (they should not both be needed) so you can simply disable the other Mod rather than removing it. That way you can try mine.

[Nadeemjp]

yes sir i have disabled it and now am trying yours
but please guide me how to make it adopt the color for each style appreciate that.

One more thing sorky, you may wanna upgrade that in Cyb Subforums, infront of each subforum, it shows in the brackets how many threads are there in the subforum along with number of posts in there like:

Forum A
--Subforum 1 (23/159)
--Subforum 2 (45/450)

so on and so forth.

At least I liked that a lot and would want this to happen in sorky 1.5 as well.
