so no.. this is vb4 only.

I have 2 forums, one being v4.02.
I forgot that the version is in the profile. I might as well remove it since v4 has been changing quite often.

Other mods also add to the navbar but not to the CMS. That is why I asked.

Well it was extremely clear in the beta which was not alternative browser friendly..
And the beta would not be working with a final release..

This is final, which means future updates on this mod, will ofcourse maintain
previous user settings, and installations..

This is a lifesaver. I had a menu system build in css but upgrading to VB4 saw it goes west!
I love this to bits. Is there any way in the future to combine both mods. Also to add images.
Thanks very much for spending so much time on this for all of our enjoyment.
PS
nominated and voted

Hi Vaupell. I think I have found a bug. It happens in IE7 and AOL9. Basically the drop down menu either stretches 100% across the forum home when you go to choose the drop down or/and my adsense advert that is just below the postbits is in front of the drop down. To explain that better. When the drop down menu appears the adsense advert is in front and the drop down menu is broken up because of this. The user cannot select anything from the menu as it then goes to close.
I'll dig out a screen shot or two and add them to this post for you once I have them from my members.

Hmm i understand, the adsense add, is "overlaying" the menu..
ill look into it,,
got an idea that might work by moveing the process order to later than adsense..

I will update if it figure out how to move the menu a layer up.
Thanks for info.

Hi Vaupell yes you are right I think.
Firefox, Chrome and IE8 are all fine. The problem is IE7 and AOL.
Here's a screen shot of the AOL problem.

Hope this helps?

Oh nearly forgot... I'm using Vbulletin 4.0.3L1 I should have said.

Here's the screen shot whilst in IE7. You'll notice that the dropdown menu expands 100% across the screen and although the last button visible here is Gallery, I have several more buttons that aren't visible in IE7.
In IE7's case I turned off adsense but it made no different.
Sorry about this.
