I didn't realize that it was wrong because it worked. Now I know, and obviously the directions were and are confusing.

They really arent confusing at all as far as coding goes! 
Shorty has done a great thing for everyone making this drop down nav bar (for free) he didnt have to do it! 

If anyone still needs help here are my settings

Think of it like this, here is everything you need for the code. 

 | | | |{ , , }

All you have to do is fill it with your site content. 

Considering that the subnav section is cut off, doesn't make it very useful. All the info to the right is cutoff.

The screen shot is to explain how to fill in the form above the html code, the html code has been explained in the post.

The part that is cut off in the screenshot just repeats anyway! it could be....

Because all you did was put a link in the subnav section...
You need to follow the instructions that are being very clearly given in the posts above, or in the first post. If you read that, you'd know just putting a link there isn't right.

Your placement is also wrong, your forum is before you calendar, not before your forum. (calendar is before your forum) 


In the placement box type calendar



Also by using blank (and not self) it will open it a new page and not click through on the same page which is fine if that is what you want.

My external link test wasn't a failure. I think this plugin would work if it was a proboards link.

My test is over. On  the morning of 4/17, I deleted the above entry.

Nothing is wrong with this plugin.

I've been doing it that way for about a year now and it works. What am I doing wrong?

Read the first post.

I updated to 2.1.0 on my test site and now the background is transparent on all the themes. Glad I didn't update the live site.

By the way, if I recall correctly, the old version didn't support sub sub links.

Did I have something filled out wrong in the top part? If so, what was it? Also, keep in mind, what I posted was from the old version, not the new one that you posted from and they do have differences.

As far as I can tell I did fill out the old version the way it was supposed to be filled out!

Is this your latest screenshot for your site? if not could you send a screenshot and a link to your site.

The one above is from my test site truebluelibertytest.proboards.com/ and is version 2.1.0

This is a screen show of what I use on my live site. 1.0.6



And it works, even the background in the drop menu.

It's all coming back to me now... why I didn't update my live site, and why I gave a low rating in the library for the latest version.

This is my live site

It's not showing the colors because you still have not input the subnav part correctly. If you won't do it correctly then I can't help you any more.

It doesn't matter what kind of link you use. You just need to input the settings correctly. If you want we can take this to PM and you can tell me exactly what you want and I will tell you exactly what to put.

Is this the way the links were supposed to have been done in 1.0.6? Because 1.0.6 doesn't say anything about doing it that way.

I don't remember. It probably wasn't. Look it really isn't that difficult. Just copy and paste your subnav links part here and i'll give it to you how its supposed to be done.

I just did it. It took forever to get the same result that I had with 106. That is why I never bothered to update. I knew it was going to take forever to change all those links.
