I need subforum help!
 

Link to my vbulletin forum -- http://hmandsforums.oliwy.net/forums/index.php


So I need to know how I can get the links to subforums to appear beneath their parent forums on the forum index page, like you guys on this board have yours set. But for some reason I cannot do this without causing my category collapse buttons to disappear. Can anyone help?

You're having some issues with your board setup. The forumhome/forumdisplay templates have likely been customized, but something isn't right. Like when you collapse one category, only the first forum in under the category disappears.

I assume your trying to get the little subforum list that appears under some forums? In order to get that, they have to be subforms of whatever forum their under. Meaning, if you have a category set, and a forum under it, then only subforums of that forum will show up as the little list on the forum home page.

Category
-Forum
--Subforum

But with that said, you should take a look at your templates and make certain that they haven't been modified incorrectly.

That's how I have it set. For example, the masters of horror/fear itself forum, I have that forum set as the parent forum of fear itself. Yet the fear itself forum appears beneath it still as a forum link, rather than as a small link like how I want it.

When I look at that forum now, Fear Itself is showing up as the small link for the Masters of Horror/Fear Itself forum. But now your open/close buttons are missing. I assume you did some changes since I looked at it last. I really do think there's an improper edit made to your Forum Home or Forum Display templates that are causing your issues.

Is there any way I could readd the collapse buttons manually?

That isn't your problem. Your problem is your templates have been edited and they're not displaying properly. Check those two template groups I mentioned in your Style Manager. If any templates, particulary forumhome, forumdisplay or any of the forumhome_level#_(no)post templates, and if any of the names are the color red, then that means they've been customized or changed. It's likely the source of your problem.

Okay do you know how I could add a sidebar to my forum even with the top 5 stats and latest groups mods? Like on some forums, they have both mods and a sidebar, but the mods automatically compress so as it'll fit the screen. Currently, if I add a sidebar, it shows up at the bottom or top of the page, as there's not enoguh space with both mods there.
