How can I solve this?

Thank you

This product uses standard tag_cloud_box template. It seems you have modified it or use a different css for showing tag clouds.

How can i show forum tag below forum list ?
or how can i manually place forum tag to where i want ?

I installed and love it but have uninstalled until I can find a way to get it on the bottom of the forum instead of the top. I like to keep the top areas of my forum clear.

If we could get an option for top or bottom that would be fantastic.

Thanks for the effort!

I would love to see an option to use the tag cloud on some forums and not on every one.

Actually tag cloud is only shown on forums if there are any threads tagged at all. If this is requested more often, I will include this in this product.
