It adds “Forum” to the Navigation menu like that only when you hide the title?

I probably have to pass it on to Steve or Andy then. Not sure why it would add the Forum name there only when hiding it.

Only thing I can think of is to hide it then try the different settings talked about here in the Codex. http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/faq/troubleshooting/i-am-seeing-multiple-forums-displayed/

ok i wil  find it i believe its a style issue

according to breadcrumb i set it to 0to be in one line like yours.

i see that in your forum you use instead of the arrows the nice breadCrumbArrCombined.png which is in the sp-red.css

is this an older version of forum beacause i want to set the code to have this nice breadcrumb style

#spMainContainer #BreadcrumbPosition3 {
    background-attachment: scroll;
    background-clip: border-box;
    background-color: transparent;
    background-image: url(“images/breadCrumbArrCombined.png”);
    background-origin: padding-box;
    background-position: right 1px;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: auto auto;
but the new version has nothing like this
should i set it to my theme template?

This is piece of custom work to our own SP theme.
There is a whole thread on this somewhere as I know Brandon has talked someone else through it. I will try and find it or you can also try searching…

Are these the colour entries you are looking for:

background: <?php echo($alt1SectionGradient); ?>;
color: <?php echo($spQuickLinksTopichover); ?>;

On the length issue I am afraid this is an oversight on my part and I realise now that you will be using a multi-byte language so the count for the length is halved. I have just opened a ticket (and re-coded it) so that this can be passed as an argument but for now I could give you a small code change if you would like it.

The stray character on that line is usually caused by a discrepency in the charsets used in the database or database tables. It would be worth checking what they are set to.

i use utf8 general ci in al my tables wp and sp

sp type my isam

wp types some isam some innodb

MP Mr Papa

mixing innodb and isam? sounds like recipe for problems… but Andy will know better…

and the charset problem usually occurs if you ever exported and then imported db and somewhere along the line the charset got different…

No – there is no real issue mixing table types although I have no idea if it might slow down some table join type queries. But if it does it is probably not perceptable.

It is currently set to truncate at 40 characters. With mb languages this equates to 20 which I guess is the problem. Something, I am afraid, I overlooked. As I say – the code is in place for the next update to make that value user-definable via a new argument in the template function for both ‘quicklinks’ drop-downs.
