Turn your crowded forum list into a clean set of tabs. Your members switch between forums, latest threads, new posts, watched content and more without reloading the page, and you decide who sees which tab. Create as many tabs as you need from the admin panel in a few clicks.

Perfect for busy communities that want visitors to reach what interests them faster.

  • ➡️ "View all" link: optionally show a link under the thread list that takes members to the full list, keeping the tab's sort order.
  • ✅ Clearer admin form: the tab form now checks your entries and tells you in plain words what is missing.

Works well on the whole, as long as you understand it's limitations when it comes to creating tabs for categories & nodes. Specifically, it ONLY works for displaying categories as tabs - and once you click on a tab, it will display that category and all the nodes in it. It does not allow you to display only specific nodes. It does not matter if you choose to display all or only some of the nodes in a category, because it will always show ALL of them. Dev should probably just rename "nodes" to "categories" & remove the instruction in the settings to "select the nodes to be displayed" (and maybe take out the bit in the description here about displaying chosen nodes), and there would be less confusion over what functionality it's supposed to have. Other than that, works as advertised.
The perfect way to prevent a long list of nodes on your index. Looks sleek and works fine. Helps to organize your forums.

Thank you !
Great add-on for large forums to group multiple categories in single tab, it would also help to avoid long scrolling.

Worms good on desktop!
Mobile it cuts of the text sideways and iT should be in a dropdown i guess or iT should be possible to scroll sideways

I believe that's default behavior from tabs in every xF locations. You should be able to scroll, don't hesitate to open bug tickets if you feel some of these are.
