How do I limit the number of sub forums displayed?

[patrickb]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to limit the number of sub-forums displayed on the forum home page?

This is my structure

Category 1
Forum 1
Sub Forum 1
Sub Forum 2
Sub Forum 3
Sub Forum 4
Sub Forum 5
Sub Forum 6
Sub Forum 7
Sub Forum 8
...
Forum 2
...
Category 2
...
I would like to display only, say the first 5 sub-forums. Ideally, sorted by activity (number of threads or posts)

i want to know the same. and also is it possible to not only limit what forums to show subforums for but to be able to choose which subforums to show from the forum i want subforums to show from. if that makes sense

i just searched for the hack i remember seeing. it doesnt show up in searches. was it deleted?
