Settings & Demonstration Screenshots (OLD - But I'm sure you'll get the idea!)

I installed this, but I deleted it because it gave a greyish like background, and the sub forum words was smooshed in with the description text of the parent forum.

Oh man you are a life saver ive needed the ten columns since ive upgraded to 4.0 Will be installing shortly. So glad to see this back in 4.0

tagged and in testing onto my playing board ... seems to be a great job Sorky ... :)

You just need to set the plethora of option in ACP/Options

Installed Confirmed working, and rated 5 stars

and just nominated ... really great hack ...

Rated, Installed and Nominated of course :)

Thanks Sorky.

Question: Will this version upgrade my existing installation of 3.8 version? I think not because you have changed the productid.

Sweet, thank you for updating this, tagged it for install tonight

Works good for me. Is there anyway to get rid of the "sub forum" text?
