I also have the product : vBH - Add new tabs 1.1 installed, and even disabled it.. same results.

It appears that some phrase is not ended correctly ? I am not good enough with all code to figure it out. (I can usually figure most things out but this one escapes me)

You Might Have a Problem On Your Site if Both methods do not work!
I would recommend installing my Plugin then working backwards to find the problem.

Thank you for your interest! :up:

[Glenshadow]

Just to clarify... The other product works fine.. but I disabled it during troubleshooting just to make sure it wasn't conflicting mods.

I will dig through the mods again as I got tired of looking at code today just to make sure there isn't something else going on.

[linuxututs]

It does conflict with "vBH - Add new tabs 1.1" on my board, but does work when disabled.
Only thing is, This works SUPER Great in Firefox, Opera, and Safari, but its screwed in IE8.

I'm wondering if its just my 64 bit windows.?

I'll leave it enabled for a few. If someone can with a 32 bit ie8 browser check it out for me.
I'd be grateful, I really like this plugin.

Here.

Thanks,

[Skyrider]

I added this plugin, and I don't see any new tabs. Is this having a conflict with the vBH - Add new tabs plugin?

Thank you Linuxuts , this will be addressed and Fixed!

[pozo]

How can I add non-popup tabs ??
So I could replace the "vBH - Add new tabs 1.1" completely
Thanks in advance!

Great idea Pozo !! I will put something in for that right away!
Thanks

[MARCO1]

Good work, Installed

[linuxututs]

Thanks NJAquaman,

I went ahead and used another, but still have yours installed ( Just disabled at the moment ).
Yours is in the main menu, and the other ones below it, and doesn't show on every page like yours.

I'll wait on the fix!
Love the code...

Thanks,

Just noticed you already Have. GREAT!

Thanks again,

Absolutely PERFECT!
