thanks..
Can I directly update it from 1.40 to 1.42?
Yes.
(the upgrader works for any version, even v1.00 can be upgraded to the latest Tongue)
thanks...... Biggrin

I found that I was using 1.31 version...Frown
Anyways updated and its looks great.... Smile
Thanks, works perfectly now! By the way, any idea why the forum is still showing up in the breadcrumb, e.g. forum A is under category B but when I am viewing A, it still shows B before A. Shouldn't it hide B when I select it to hide the trail?
Thanks, Yumi Smile

Which forum did you apply the option to?  If you want B to be hidden, it should be set for category B, not A.
Hmm I probably misunderstood the way the feature works?
I have the following:
Category B
  - Forum A
  - Forum B
  - Forum C

Forum A is affected by XThreads and when viewing it I do not want to show Category B in the breadcrumb trail.
However when I go to forum B and forum C it must show Category B in the breadrcrumb trail.

Is this possible to do? I read a post somewhere on these forums explaining how it worked and I interpreted it this way.
No, the option will hide the forum (that you applied the setting to) in the trail, not the trail of a forum.
So, in your above example, if you set category B to be hidden, and only category B, when viewing forum A, B or C, category B will be hidden in the trail.
Setting forum A to have the breadcrumb hidden (whereas category B is set to shown) will have no effect in your above example.  But, if A had a child forum D, then when viewing D, the breadcrumb would be like:
Forum Home / Category B / Forum D

Hope that helps.
Oh that explains it. Why make it that way though? In my opinion it would have a better use if we hide the rest of the trail, because people may want that so people don't recognise it as a forum, not sure if you get me.

But thanks for your explanation.
^ That can still easily be done by hiding all the forum's parents' in the breadcrumb.

Yes, the idea was to make it seem less like a forum, however your idea prevents any inheritance whatsoever.
For example, with the current scheme, you can have something like:
Forum Home / Special Forums / Gallery / Mudcrabs
where Special Forums would be hidden, so Mudcrabs would be an obvious descendant of Gallery.  Your proposition wouldn't allow this.
