We have 100's of sub forums we would like to act as "separate" forums

Hi,
we have 100's of very small subforums we would like to act as forums without necessarily showing the main forum home unless you are given a link to it.

As a result we would like to restrict the bread crumbs just to show the subforum - Is this possible?

Our main board is here - www.neighbours.ie/dublin (http://www.neighbours.ie/dublin)
but no one really want to see the main board - they are more interested in their subforum -
e.g. - Lusk Vllage - http://www.neighbours.ie/dublin/forumdisplay.php?f=530

any help would be great,
thanks in advance,
Gary

If I understand you just want the main forum out of the breadcrumb? That's possible of course, but you'd need a plugin, or possibly you may need to edit code. There's usually a hook location right before a page template is rendered, so you maybe could write a small plugin to modify the value of the breadcrumb string before it's used.

I know this isn't the programming forum, but it's the best answer I know. If this sounds like the right solution but you're not a php programmer I might be able to help.

looks like you got it worked out? was going to say just at the link to all your forums in navbar.
i have been currently working on my own style and design to get rid of the sub look as to me it looks messy, but each to ther own. i have cut forumhome down big time and will create drop down for all forums etc, make stuff easy to find. lot neater www.teencelebrity.net anyway good luck ;)
