Hello guys,

In both of your forums drop down lists (“New/Recently Updated Topics” and “Select Forum”) the group name is included above the topics/forums.

Is this something you can help me to get as well?

Cheers

Thomas

hmmm… confused… actually, we have no way of not showing the group name…

do you have a link to where you are not seeing this? perhaps you have css hiding the optgroup tags?

Just realized that several of your forum namnes start with “Simple:press 5” just as your top group name.

Sorry for my misstake. embarassed

To bad it´s not doable. I have several groups with forum that have the same name (for example: recruitment, events etc) and it makes the drop down lists a bit messy.

Sorry if i did missunderstand you, but i have no clue what a optgroup is.

I would be very happy if it´s possible to make the group name apear in the drop down list at my forum. Currently when opening the “New/Recently Updated Topics” only the forum and topic names is shown.

Please take a look at the image below.

In the very top of the list you see “Nyheter (forum name) / SWTOR Gree eventet”

What i would love to have is “Generellt forum (group name) / Nyheter / SWTOR Gree eventet”

Yes… the group name is always shown… ‘no way of not showing’ is the same as always showing (double negative there not the best English)… you asked how to show the group name like ours… I was saying I dont know how you could have gotten (short of the css change I mentioned) it to now show the group name…

an optgroup is an html term… its a way of showing a group of options (again, html term) in a dropdown or select box… in this case, we always show the group name in italics with the forums in the group following on their own line…

Forgot to add the image. Please read the text of my last post before this one.

I don’t understand. The image clearly shows your forum group names above each block of forums. what is it you are missing?
