    Whats with the non-clickable Category Links?

    If I am looking at Forumhome here (on vbseo.com), all of the categories have links like http://www.vbseo.com/#Community .

    I can't seem to click these in Firefox.

    They work for me in IE... They are just anchor links that jump that section to the top of the page though.

    It is probably 'Working as Designed' .. I miss the default vB action of taking me to the Forumdisplay for that Category, showing the sub-forums on their own, rather than all categories/forums.

    Yeah, this method definately wouldn't work well on my site. I have too many forums.... So I have a dropdown to let users select certain sections instead of getting the whole long list.

    Yep, a template modification and links (to the respective anchors) in categories via the vbcp

    However, it will be a built-in feature in vBSEO 2.4.1 as it might have an SEO impact for some forums

    Interesting. Still deciding if it's best to go via this route with my site.
