The IC tutorials button skips to the subcategory of articles, is that intentional?
I see it a bit inconsistent that/how it does.
You mean the IC Tutorials tab? Yes, that's how it's supposed to work.
I installed that Articles mod, so we could have a way for members to write tutorials. But "Articles" doesn't really indicate to visitors that they can find tutorials there. So I needed some way to indicate that tutorials are there. I found a mod that allows me to add new tabs, and have them link to whatever I want. So I made a new tab called IC Tutorials, and it links to only Inkscape tutorials. So while Articles tab shows all articles, including some about how the forum works, and some about Inkscape; the IC Tutorials tab only goes to Inkscape tutorials.
(I've made several feature requests to improve the Articles mod (including the ability to change the text on the tab), but its author seems uninclined to improve it, despite its popularity.)
I should look through SMF mods again soon. There used to be yet a different mod that would allow to change the text of the tabs. But it didn't work with this version. But maybe someone has made a new one?
