Help with Dynamically Tabbed Welcome Table Jan 18, 2017 12:03:06 GMT -8

I recently had someone create a new skin for me and they included a 3 tab welcome table. I love it but I wanted to move some things around in the tabs. My content in the first 2 tabs work while the third tab "kills" the tab-able header and shows no content when clicked. I have used an html validator and fixed a lot of things, but it still is not functioning properly. The header belongs on my main board which has a recent makeover, so not all codes on the test board are the same. I don't think this is an issue since it is isolated in the main header, but I know I could be wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated!

The test forum is in maintenance mode and I assume that is where you are trying out the changes you mention so without access I'm not sure how much help can be offered.
The posted code is an old code from Proboards version 4 and a V5 plugin was created to replace that code. Jordan maybe able to speak to this since it is his code but there might be a few conflicts with that old code that might not be readily identified, plus in a plugin container the code becomes much more user-friendly by eliminating direct code editing and instead offer fill-this-in and select-this-option configurations.

Give the plugin a try especially if you're looking to make changes, it should be easier than directly trying to edit coding

Yes, the code you are using was built for version 4, so I highly recommend using the v5 plugin instead.

You'll notice in the v4 code you are using that it references several CSS classes that no longer exist, such as bordercolor and windowbg. You would have to create all of these yourself, but if you use the new plugin, it will use the v5 CSS classes.

I utilized the new plugin on my test board. Turns out that the tables within the tabs had too many <tr> divisions and was messing up the code in both scenarios. I've been able to work it out from there. Thanks for the advice.
