How do I get Subforum icons like this?

[wickland]

I was wondering how to get a subforum setup like this:

As you can see, this is too many links in a box and I would like to limit this. Is there some way to cut it off at a certain point, like 10 sub forums and then display something like "more..." so it's not just a huge list? I have a ton of subforums. Any recommendations?

Thanks

You could use a modification to put the subforums in a column, make it look a little nicer.

what is the other way to do it like the picture?

In the picture in your first post? That looks to be the default way subforums are displayed.

Do you know if there is a way to limit the default. I have a ton of really long sub-forum titles and about 60 of them and then sub-forums inside those as well.

I was wondering if there was a way to cut off the sub-forum links after like 10 of them and then have something like "more... click here to see them all"

Can I do this?

Thanks for the links, I'll experiment later and see if it helps.

I might be able to put something together, I'll have a look later.

That sounds great, I would really appreciate that :)

Hey Kirk, I found a way around this and I thought this might be a great program you could develop as well. This is what I did:

On the main forums, I typed in my description and then: <br>
<b>79 Sub-Forums</b>

This way there isn't a long list of links and I still get the info that there are more sub-forums available if they click the link. The only problem is I have to keep track of how many forums I'm making and count them up lol!

I thought it may be simple for you to make a program that automatically counts the forums up and display the number. It would make it a lot easier than manually counting the forums and typing in a number and keeping track of it.
