LIVE DEMO

INSTALLED! thx Cyb! you rock!
PS. also nominated ;)

One of the most useful mods, making my forum (and countless others) neater and easier to navigate and manage.

Cheers =)

There is a problem when i updated the new version.

I installed unswervingly but your modification double listed in the Installed Product and I don't accessing the settings of Cyb - Sub-Forum Manager in vbulletin options.

I think this is a bug from vbulletin's this version

it doubled listed because u have the 3.6 and now the 3.7 remove both of them now and reinstall it! i had the same problem but that fixed it! hope that helps

Yes. I did with same method. Thanks for your help.

thank you!!

Internet Explorer 7.05 scrunches columns to left of page. Firefox and Opera span evenly across page.

You can see what I mean at my site here.

check my board ...

And this helps how?

um.... I did what was instructed and it doesn't work.

They don't even change appearance.

Well how many columns you have chosen?

Thanks

Four columns.

Firefox and Opera display the four columns evenly across page. IE7 scrunches the four columns to the left side of page. View the link using the three browsers and you'll see the "Online Puzzle Games" forum is scrunched in IE7 but the other two browsers display four columns evenly.

Solution found. :)
I had one sub-forum set to display only under certain circumstances. Changed Online Puzzle Games forum to match the other sub-forum settings and all sub-forums open to public viewing.

However,:( IE7 still scrunches sub-forum listings in private areas when a member with permissions for that private area logs in.

IE7 aligns properly if all sub-forums open to public, as the Online Puzzle Games shows, but scrunches listings to the left for private areas.

When "Show Private Forum" for main forum set to "Yes- hide post counts" and all sub-forums set to "No" for "Show Private Forum" then IE7 scrunches sub-forums to the left side of page. To open private areas to public viewing by setting all sub-forums to "Yes - hide post counts" sort of defeats the idea of private areas. Setting main forum and all sub-forums to "No" or "Yes- hide post counts" doesn't solve IE7 problem for members when they have logged in.

For the time being I've posted a notice of IE problem on site and suggest members use Firefox or Opera.

Fixed. Uninstalled then reinstalled mod.

im having problesn where viewers that are using xp have to scroll across the screen to view the forums and uisers using vista can see them fine with no window scrolling

hi all

i want to change the view in page forumdisplay.php to view the forums in columns such as 3 forum by line,

pls advice

any major changes since the old version for 3.6

cause i still have that one installed and it seems to be working fine

and the way i see it is

dont fix it unless its broken

im still having issues with the mod breaking or stretching the forum for alot of my members. Any suggestions?

Can I use 2 columns for some forums and 3 columns or One column for anothers?

hmm how do i increase the limit of colums or remove the limit?? but still have the other features?

need asap >.<

regards

thanks, installed..

did not work for me. I followed the instructions step by step. No affect on my forums

To get this hack working you must set "Depth of Sub-Forums" to "1" in vBulletin Options > Forum Listings Display Options
-To set hack options go to: AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Cyb - Sub-Forum Manager

in vb 3.6.8 work's fine but in 3.7 dont work it :(

Works for me in 3.7 well.

Did some minor tweaks, and still playing with in my test area.

As far as vista vs xp, well I am testing on both and testing on different screen resolutions. So far only minor adjustments for either. And I think the suggested issues by other posters are the diff between browser versions imo.

Works great onb my 3.7.0 board other than Wacking out when i try to fix the cyb stats mod

i'm too when SET:
Thread/reply counts for sub-forums:
1/show thread & post counts
2/show thread counts

Why would it not work in 3.7.0 ? I followed all the instructions

Installed thanks

thank you, :D

any idea why this add-on doesn't work on vbseo skin?

Thanks, It's nice MOD

have it up and working on 3.7.0 with several sub forums - check it out if you like to see how well it works!

still can't get the new version to work on 3.7
I had it working on 3.6.8
I set sub forum depth to 1

Does anyone here is using this mod combined with Forumhome Category Spacing ?

If I try to use them together mess up with my board, that's because both of them share some templates.

Maybe someone here uses both and found a solution for.

Cheers

I am successfully using this modification (subforms) with ForumHome Category Spacing [3.7] wikth out any issues on 3.71.

:)

My forumhome is perfect just like was supposed to be. But on sub forums pages The first sub forums are showed OK but the last ones on the page completely messed up.

Have you change something to work with or just both original mods ?

Tks

Thanks for the hack.

Hi, first off, just wanted to say thank you for the mod, perfect for my use but I do have a slight problem.

Info:
vBulletin v3.7.1
Cyb-SubForum Manager v2.5 (4 columns)
Firefox v2.0.0.14
No other mods on the ForumHome template.

I finally did the first post on the forum and noticed the forums are breaking off the ForumHome page. I went through the mods I have installed and disabled them all and then went through 1 by 1 and enabled them individually until I came across the one causing the problem. Unfortunately it was this mod. I've enclosed a screen shot and circled the break, post causing the break and some of the subforums so you can get an overview of what I'm seeing.

Do you know what would be causing that? What do I need to look for to modify so I can fix?

Any assistance would be great, thanks

Update: Setting on 2 cols makes the page look correct.
