I've updated my forum to 3.8.x and the previous version of this mod (1.5.1) was working fine but to keep my forums mods up to date I installed this (1.5.2) also.

I double checked that I had 'Allow Overwrite' set to YES but it installed a second installation of the Mod.

Everythings fine as I uninstalled the old version and set the options for the new one.

Would it not be easier for this to simply overwrite a previous version??

yeah i liked urs better so i installed urs even when i was using 3.7.3.
and that version is still usable in 3.8 as well.
however today i updated it to the latest version for 3.8

thanx for the update.

I know... Unfortunately a new Mod needs a new ID, which means they do not override.

If I do a 1.5.3 under 3.8.x, then it will of course be automatically updated.

Yes... So far the only actual differences in the Mods are the new ProductID, Version Description and URL... Main thing is that I can support the different versions without potentially breaking the others if a major change occurs.

1. If I show my sub-subforums, by setting the depth of subforums to 3 in forum listing display options and 'Allow depth of SubForums > 1 by indenting the Sub-SubForums' to yes, then they get alphabetically sorted in such a way that sub-subforums are sorted together with subforums. It shows like this:

Subforum A
Subsubforum A
Subforum B
Subforum C
Subforum D
Subforum E

Even when Subsubforum A is a child of Subforum D. I would like it to show under Subforum D.

2. Some of my forums do not show a horizontal border between them. Edit: for some reason this is now resolved.
3. 'Forums where this Mod will HIDE any SubForums' does not seem to work for me.

How can I fix this?

Please add the function to show the number of people viewing a subforum.

This is a known limitation (Note that the sorting option actually says: "Do not use alphabetic sorting if SubForumDepth > 1 as the sorting may not make sense"). The logic to try and do nested sorting given the way the SubForum are returned is far to complex and liable to impact performance... Use the "Forum Display order" sorting and you can force the order in the Forum Manager.

If it re-occurs, PM me a link &/ image so I can see it

Works fine for me... PM me a link and screen shots of the option settings so I can see if you have something set incorrectly

It's added to the wish-list

works and looks great for us sorky, thanks

one question: when hiding the subforum list in the forumbit, if i leave that page and come back, it is no longer hidden. is there anyway to make this stay on a per-user basis?
