Hi all,

I want add multiple tabs to my forum, I don't know how to. If possible I would love jquery tabs.

Also I found this but don't know if this works because it's been 2 years since posted.

I am not sure why you want this, the Category headers are live links anyway, personally I think tabs make a forum look cluttered, plus it's more for users to take in.

My forum have vast amount of categories and sub categories so I think it'll be very helpful for members.

Easier (IMO) to create a new Navbar and put buttons on it !!
Can you recommend me any good Navbar which I can use ??

Or

Do I need to code that ??

This is the standard "toplinks code, you can use it.

<div class="menu">
<ul>
your button codes in here
</ul>

You will need a button for each category, then you need to set a path to the button using HTML. like the one below :
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/search.php">&nbsp;&nbsp;{$lang->toplinks_search}</a></li>

"search.php" is the page link, in your case you would need to enter the category id, ignore the {$lang->toplinks_search}, instead enter the url to the image using <img src= url("link to image)
you would need to edit .htaccess to for the directory index and a redirect to a given "default" category so that the browser knows where to go

use DirectoryIndex forumdisplay.php?fid=X and a rewrite for index.php to the same use forumdisplay.php?fid=X
