I installed this and my entire sub nav menu vanished, this is normally where you locate the FAQ, Private messages etc, I have tried to disable it and still they have vanished, now uninstalled it and still they have not reappeared.

What version of vBulletin are you running and have you made any edits to your navbar template?

4.2.0 Patch Level 2, and no I have made no changes.

Unfortunately, I'm no expert at server work. I have the server information, but all I know how to do is take backups.

I can send you the information, if you'd be willing to do it, though.

It might just be easier to create a new timestamp setting - I'll update the product some time tonight

This mod makes no modifications to any templates nor does it insert itself into the navbar (either via the pre-4.2 or post-4.2 method) - are you sure you made no other changes (such as other products installed)?

There's really no way this mod could have caused this.

Well the navbar was there, I installed this mod and now its not, I checked on the default theme, and also the theme I use, I cannot even revert the default theme as its never been changed. No idea why this has happened, as the lower navbar works in blogs and other mods just not on the forumshome index.

My forums have been the same for months this is the only change I have made for weeks on end is to install this product.

Okay, thank you.

[Bluefin221]

Looks like the problem is more deep rooted I added define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); to the config file and still the problem persists, utterly bizarre as all I have done today is install this mod and then the entire sub navbar vanished.

Its obviously unrelated just coincidence, now I need to figure out how to fix it without knowing what the problem is.

Have you checked the default navbar template to ensure the code for the navigation manager still exists?

You may want to turn on debug mode and try re-importing the MASTER STYLE from your downloaded vBulletin zip file.
Disclaimer: I have no idea if that even works, you may wish to contact vBulletin support to find out the correct way of rebuilding the MASTER STYLE.
