Not sure you're getting what Sub Forums are DS

Yes I do. Click on the Flash forum. For some reason after the mod was installed the status icon doesn't indicate that the forum has sub forums. I'm checking that now

The way you have your Categories/Forums set up half way down the site is really strange to say the least, nothing like most of us, including vBulletin.com, have ours set up.

Check you 'depths' of the Forums in the Options setting in the admin panel, this is why Sub Forum don't show, you have to get the number set right.

Disco_Stu 05-20-2012 03:34 PM

At any rate you can see that the mod does in fact work for sub forums, correct?

And like I said the site is in the process of being developed.

If you go and make a Sub Forum for say your: This week's poll question
forum, then try to add an icon you will see what we're talking about.

Nope.
Check out vbulletin .com then set your SubForums the same as that, the normal way, then you will see what we all mean.

Yes, but if you set your parent forum up as a category by saying "no" to the "act like a forum" question then it sets the parent as a true category section and then the mod works for any forums and sub forums in that category

normal way? If setting the forum up as a category is not normal then there wouldn't be an option to do it in the forum manager. This is not a hack , it's a basic function of vBulletin

The help text for "act like a forum" is as follows:

Act as Forum

If you set this to No, this forum will act as a category (that is, a non-posting forum that only exists to group other forums).


This is how you really set up a forum category

This also provides the ability to collapse a forum category and it's forums & sub forms. This allows your visitors to ignore the forums that don't interest them.

The top half of your site is set up in the normal way, the other half set up in a way really wrong, or totally different than nearly every vb user.

I have been using, installing and posting with vb software for over 4 years, and I have never seen a main Forum set up the way you have yours set up DS

That is up to you, it's your Forum, I am just saying what a lot of us have been on about with the Sub Forum icons not showing is correct, not matter what it shows on the way you set yours up as.

Again, thanks for the PM and the link to your site, it was defiantly interesting to see it set up that way, although I'd not be copying that way of a set up..lol.

To each his own. Hey, did you try the player?
