Will your next version be compatible with 'Sorky Sub Forum List Control'?

Also would it be possible to integrate in this mod the ability to disable the cuss filter for selected forums. That way you can set a minimum age and allow unrestricted wordage with the same mod.

Thnx..

I nstalled this and when I enabled this on a forum it hides all my forums and all I get is N: <-- that is all that is shown haha

Awesome concept though

i havent looked into the that specific mod, so can't really comment as to if its possible to integrate or not, and if this will be available on the next rev.

i'm not sure i understood the request: you want that certain age can curse on selected forum and other may not ?

do you have any other mods installed that can affect the forumbit ?
Can you try to disable rest of plugins to tell if this is a conflict with some other mod installed ?
