    [Forum] Settings missing from header

    Along the top of the screen where it says Welcome, ______ Notifications My Profile Settings Log Out

    I'm missing the Settings link? How do I get that back?

    Create a new style with no parent:
    • Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
    • Parent Style: No Parent Style
    • Title: Default vBulletin
    • Allow User Selection: Yes
    • Save


    Then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still have the same problem?

    If I post CSS and you don't know where it goes, throw it into the additional.css template.

      If I use the default style it comes back. There must be something missing in my other style. Which template should I post? I would appreciate any help I can get.

        Compare your navbar template to the default navbar template and you should see what is different and fix it.

          Those links are in the header template.

          Make sure your custom style has this link:
          Code:
          <li><a href="usercp.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase user_control_panel}</a></li>

            I found that link on line 11 of my header template. It deffinitely has it, yet does not display the Settings link. I'm not a code expert, if anyone can help get it back while not breaking my custom style that would be much appreciated.

            My header template:
            Code:
            <div class="above_body"> <!-- closing tag is in template navbar -->
            <div id="header" class="floatcontainer doc_header">
             <vb:if condition="$stylevar['titleimage']"><div><a name="top" href="{vb:link forumhome}" class="logo-image"><img src="{vb:stylevar titleimage}" alt="{vb:rawphrase x_powered_by_vbulletin, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}" /></a></div></vb:if>
             <div id="toplinks" class="toplinks">
              <vb:if condition="$show['member']">
               <ul class="isuser">
                <li><a href="login.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=logout&amp;logouthash={vb:raw bbuserinfo.logouthash}" onclick="return log_out('{vb:rawphrase sure_you_want_to_log_out}')">{vb:rawphrase log_out}</a></li>
                <vb:if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
                <li><a href="register.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" rel="nofollow">{vb:rawphrase register}</a></li>
                </vb:if>
                <li><a href="usercp.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase control_panel}</a></li>
                <li><a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw bbuserinfo}}">{vb:rawphrase your_profile}</a></li>
                <vb:if condition="$notifications_total">

                  <li><a href="private.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase inbox}</a></li>
                 </ul>

              Your line is not the same. Look at the phrase being called. Your's says:

              {vb:rawphrase control_panel}

              Wayne's says:
              {vb:rawphrase user_control_panel}
