It will check to see if you have Reputation enabled. If you do not, it will not show the reputation in the menu.

Can we get this for CMS also? Thanks...

One thing I messed with the link color and no matter what it refused to change.

I tried standard css and moding the color line to

color: {vb:stylevar navbar_link_color};

To be clear I want to change the color in the navbar itself. Im not worried about links in the drop down.

You need to look in the block of code that you were supposed to add to the additional.css from the first post for the color change you are wanting.

As far as working with the CMS, I don't use that on my site yet so I haven't had a chance to play around with it. One of these days I will get around to that.

Got it I had the wrong css. I was using the one from the zip. Changed bofoo sylevar and all good now. Thanks...
