I guess something is not fully loaded in editor when div block which contains it is not visible on page load. I tried to find what causes this but with no luck. Tried also to change the way javascript switches blocks but no luck again...

I think I'll ask someone from vB to help here...

any news on this? I would like to use this but firefox users keeps me from using this wonderfull add-on :-/

Cybernetec - I'm really keen to re-enable this mod, but without firefox support I can't

Therefore I'll offer to make a $25 donation to you by paypal if you can fix this within two weeks. Anyone else like to match my offer - a bit more cash on the table might move this along

Installed..but Can We Select What Thread They Need To Post In First Before Seeing The Rest Of The Forum?

[Maur?cioSB]

Very Smart!
Tks!

Great Hack - but unusable due to the problems with Firefox

Yeah can confirm it still doesn't work in FireFox which is a shame as it's becoming more popular. Anyone fancy fixing this mod? There's an offer of $25 above I believe!

what type is used on the digital point forums?

where you have to tick a button before it allows you to post?

Is anyone using this successfully with vB3.6.8 PL2?

I'm running vB3.6.8 PL2 and have found that when you choose the forum it correctly shows the description of the forum you have chosen but the forum name jumps back to the one at the top of your list of forums. It doesn't stay on the forum you chose.

Clicking on "continue" does take you to the correct forum however. Very confusing when trying to use it, especially for a newbie….

It's not supposed to work like this is it?

The dropdown only displays "forums" for me. It doesn't display the list of forums (i have a lot of forums).
