Attached file should fix issue with parent forums not showing in navbar for article forum which are sub-forums

The double navbar is caused by vba cmps

To have categories create sub-forums

I'm still not sure why 'most read articles', etc are blank for some of you, it might be due to special characters in one of the thread title though?

I have a problem when editing an article, the editor will stretch over the avatar part on the right and look awful. Any ideas on how to fix?

Thank you

Quick fix is to disable ajax edit for first post
