[HOW-TO] Fix Random "Last Post By" Widths:

I clicked on the " Don't forget to click INSTALL and it took me to the 3.70 Beta version of this and put me down and "Installed on that one".

If someone with knowledge of this mod (as it is not supported) would like to take a look inside my template for me, I would be grateful.

Many Thanks.

Mate tried this but , what I am after is , as per your demo, you have collapsible forumbits on forumhome page. ( each forum category is collapsible )

I am desperate for this feature on our forum, but cant seem to find the code. Can you help please.

vBDesignerz · #18 02-23-2009, 09:53 PM

^^i was confused at first, but download the attachment, thats the codes you require
good luck

Ohiosweetheart · #19 03-01-2009, 11:00 PM

DaPro, your demo link doesn't show the side column.

JohnBee · #20 03-05-2009, 07:22 AM

Big fan of your MOD!

1Q. Is it possible to make the bottom table surround thin like at vb.org?

UberDoober · #21 03-13-2009, 02:18 PM

INSTALLED!

With things switched around, the gradients on my category strips needed to be revised a little to look good above the Forum-Last Posts-Threads bar but otherwise, I love this mod. My board cries out now for rounded t-cats!

Still not quite happy with my gradients yet but have a look: www.dooberville.com/forums

Thanks!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
