Matthew, I hate to keep pestering you but I really have no other choice. Please make some time to address these issues, and please let me know any way in which I can help you.

Sincerely,

Luke

Thanks so very much. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help troubleshoot or test, I will be around.

I'm not using Pretty URLs or any mod similar to it, in fact I have very few mods installed at all, mostly related to images and a YouTube viewer. The two big ones are Menu Editor Pro and Simple Portal.

There are no MEP errors in the error log.

I PM'd you an admin login to my forum so you can examine it for yourself, let me know if you need me to resend those credentials.

Sorry to mention another issue... When I am on the forum homepage the "Forum" menu item is highlighted, as it should be. But as soon as I enter any board page or thread, the highlighting reverts to the "Home" menu item, although it should remain on "Forum."

Sorry to revive this thread, but our site is going live shortly and I really need this last bug fixed. In addition to the behavior mentioned above, there is actually another probably-related bug.

In Menu Editor Pro I created a new tab called "Downloads." This points to a portal page that I created. When I visit the Downloads page, both the "Home" and "Downloads" tabs are highlighted along the top. This looks really bad.

I'm posting a screenshot which as usual I actually can't see myself. I will also send you a PM with an admin login that you can use to access the forum.

Could you take a look at your convenience?

I'm attaching another screen shot. I can't actually see my own attachments but I'm assuming you can.

Holy moly, that is absolutely precisely how I want it. I'm not entirely sure how you did it, I see Simple Portal is set to "Front Page" rather than standalone, but index.php (at the root) is set to Standalone.

Is there anything I need to keep in mind as I'm editing and adding stuff? The strange thing is that if I go to mysite/index.php I am on a slightly different page than what I get to if I click on "Home", which takes me to mysite/forum/index.php. However they both end up with the same content so I guess it doesn't matter!

The only other glitch that I will bring to your attention, but which I don't need fixed, is that I believe sometimes MEP will give a brief notification message at the top of the page. For example, if I add a button to the menu a green line will expand slightly at the top of the page and then after a moment disappear. I'm assuming there is some kind of confirmation message that is supposed to appear there, but for me it isn't visible. No doubt it is a similar issue to the expanding/collapsing options. I don't personally need this fixed, you've done enough for me already. It's probably just a conflict with my particular theme. I only mention it in case it is a global conflict you want to address in your next release.

Thank you very much for the personalized support, it is greatly appreciated. I rescind my earlier skepticism and will definitely look forward to an SMF 2.1 version.

Thanks again. I'm now going to take a backup of the entire site!

Here is a screenshot of the strict standards messages I get on index.php.

Regarding Simple Portal, you say "If it were [in Standalone mode], the menu item would likely show up." The menu item does show up, as you can see in the second screenshot. You can see this when you edit the My Home button in Menu Editor. The menu item for internal-action -> Simple Portal Home shows up and is selected. The issue is that Menu Editor will not let me activate that button.

If you still think this is a problem with Simple Portal, can you give me some specific, technical details about the statement that "Simple Portal does not appear to be in standalone mode"? Basically I need something that I can take to the Simple Portal forum and have them look at the error.
