Yeah, I'd like it to be one big table if possible. I don't want spacing between the banner, the categories, and the side table.

This would require an overhaul of a lot of aspects of your theme. You'd need to remove the 10px margin from the bottom of containers and remove some things from the Layout Templates.

Depending on exactly what you want done, you might even have to edit the source HTML of the plugin.

You'd be better off asking for a Template Modification to accomplish this. It's a lot of work. But I think I have a general idea of what you want done.

Okay...say I just want to remove the navigation tree....do you have any idea how I would go about that?

Structure > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper

Remove the following from the HTML.

<div id="navigation-tree">
    $[navigation.tree]
</div>

Thank you soooo, sooo very much!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. This plug in fixes all of my issues that I had with the other plugin.

Hi there. I'm still having trouble with the side tables. I can't create a div scroll and none of my headers (<h1></h1>) will go to a width of 100%.

Can you tell me exactly which boxes are presenting the problems?

[Sunny]

The "Staff" box here the two headers containing "admins" and "mods" are, the "Status" box with the headers with small black text and light grey background, and the "Affiliates" box (scond from the bottom). I added a div layer to the site banners under the text "Affiliates" to make a scroll bar.

[Brian]

Try adding this to the CSS of any headings that aren't 100% width.

display: block;

The scrollbar isn't working because you've set an invalid height for the div in its inline CSS. It needs to be 100px instead of just 100.

You're awesome. Just going to say it. Thank you so much, I've been asking this for like a week. Thanks again.

Why is it that any plugin I install does not work? Including this one?

Are you filling out the information for the plugin? You need to change some of its settings for it to work, as well as actually enable the plugin on your forum when it's all said and done.

I took a look at your forum and the plugin is currently disabled, and all of its settings aren't filled out yet.

Hey Brian, how would I go about adding a drop-down menu with clicky links? I'm looking for a drop-down that I can edit in important links for members. Sorry If you've already covered this...I've been looking through the pages trying to find an answer, but I might have missed it. Thank you.

This page seems to have a working example. The first code is the one you want (Page changes when the selection changes).

Don't forget that the end of the code there is supposed to be </form>, as they seem to have left out the </ part of it.

This will work in the exact same fashion as V4's forum jump dropdown, and isn't just restricted to the sidebar.

[?Leslie?]

That worked awesomely! How might I go about centering the selectable links in the drop down? I tried to center the options on their own and that didn't work. Sorry to be a pain!
