How to remove and/or edit the "Forum" 'sub-tabs' ...?

[vilhiem]

Thanks Lynne!

I just copy/pasted your code and seems to work fine.
If you get a moment ... feel free to comment on how you think it looks at:

(the "Live Chat" tab ... is my new name for the "Forums" tab)

I placed many of the functions under the Tools tab.

Kind Regards,
Vilhiem

I looks nice! I like how the dropdowns occur when you hover over the tab after a click on one. I know a lot of people don't like that, but I do.

Or you can just install something like this: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=233629

Thanks rsuplido ... but I do have that right now installed.

"Tabs Add System for vBulletin 4 (sstab advanced)" is for adding new major tabs and drop-downs (which works pretty nice).
What I really need next though is something that allows me to add custom "sub-menus" ... similar to the default ones I just eliminated with the above code ... but unique to what I want. If anyone knows of any, please let me know.

Otherwise, the code Lynne provided works fine to eliminate the default sub-menus.

OK..... I am still lost.

I want to eliminate the sub menus and can't figure out waht code to remove from the NAV TEMPLATE.

This is what I want to do......


Here is the current code.....

<div id="navbar" class="navbar">

Thanks rsuplido ... but I do have that right now installed.

"Tabs Add System for vBulletin 4 (sstab advanced)" is for adding new major tabs and drop-downs (which works pretty nice).
What I really need next though is something that allows me to add custom "sub-menus" ... similar to the default ones I just eliminated with the above code ... but unique to what I want. If anyone knows of any, please let me know.

Otherwise, the code Lynne provided works fine to eliminate the default sub-menus.

I'm confused, did you hand code the drop-down tabs, or did you use this mod? If you used this mod, then you must have removed the copyright, because I don't see it on your page. If you hand coded the drop-down tabs, then please share how you did it because I'm really interested in doing something similar to what you have done on my site. I'm just not interested in another copyright notice for a simple tab mod.

Thanks for sharing!
