Sounds like a JavaScript error to me. As you are certainly aware, HeaderTabs switched from using YUI to jQuery between MW 1.16 and 1.17. Naturally, the 1.16 code is not maintained with the highest priority. Now that 1.18 is out, you migt consider updating your MW installation. But of course you considered all this already and there are imperative reasons to keep 1.16, so here goes... :-)
Things you might try to find the cause of the problem: * Change skin * Disable other JavaScript-heavy extensions * see the browser's JS error log (Ctrl-Shift-J in Firefox) * if it's a public wiki, tell us where to find it
Cheers, Stephan

Hello there, I'm trying to get this to work on mediawiki version 1.16.4. I am having issues with the tabs showing up. They come out as bulleted text instead of tabs. I have read around about possible solutions but there are not working for me, I've installed yui 2.8, used Header Tabs version 8.3, 6.6, 7.0 to no avail and I'm basically stuck. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
