Darlin' you rock! I found that code on another forum of dubious content. Now I know where they got it.
Is it possible to make the thread list in to 2 columns?

Sure, you could apply the same technique to the thread list on the forumdisplay pages.

Is this known to be working still in 4.1.5? I applied the sub forum listing to the default template and saw no change. I added this to the additional.css file and the forumbits.css file...

Thanks!

I just added the subforum css to the additional.css template in one of my 4.1.5 default styles and it worked just fine.

Doesn't seem to work for me either on my 4.1.5 test site....

Edit: Still works as intended on 4.1.5, I just didn't with the way my forums and sections were configured.

Using this CSS, can I replicate my existing look?

Using just CSS? No. You will need to do template edits also.

Hello Lynne, I'm still new to CSS and have read through this entire thread and tried messing with the codes but cannot achieve the end result I am looking for.

This is how my forum looks now (default 4.1.5 and there are child forums within here):

This is how I want it to look (your second image in original post):

And this is what I get when I post the code in my additional css. window:

Could you please help me identify what I am doing wrong??

Thanks in advance, I really appreciate your time and help




ok so I read the original thread that this one derives from and got this code from Charlie's post:

.subforums ol.subforumlist {
float: left;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.subforumlist li.subforum {
float: left;
width: 50%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
clear:none;
}
/* to remove the commas */
.commalist li.subforum:after {
content:"";
}"

I punched it into my forumbit.css and got a result similar to what I want:

But I would very much rather have two columns instead of one, hopefully this is an easier question to answer??


Side note, I have the Forum Listing Display Options > Depth of Sub-Forums set to "1" so that they will appear, it defaults to 0 so nothing will show unless I change it to 1...

You would need to post a link to your forum/style so we can see what is going on.
