I think I have a similar problem as some other people with a large number of sublevels. Here's my basic forum breakdown, as I'd like to set it:

Cat01
Cat01-Subcat01
Cat01-Subcat01-Forum01
Cat01-Subcat01-Forum02
Cat01-Subcat01-Forum03
Cat01-Subcat02
Cat01-Subcat02-Forum04
Cat01-Subcat02-Forum05
Cat02
Cat02-Subcat03
Cat02-Subcat03-Forum06
Cat02-Subcat03-Forum07
Cat02-Subcat03-Subsubcat01
Cat02-Subcat03-Subsubcat01-Forum08
Cat02-Subcat03-Subsubcat01-Forum09
Cat02-Subcat03-Subsubcat02
Cat02-Subcat03-Subsubcat02-Forum10
Cat02-Subcat03-Subsubcat02-Forum11
Cat03
Cat03-Subcat04
Cat03-Subcat04-Subsubcat03
Cat03-Subcat04-Subsubcat03-Subsubsubcat01
Cat03-Subcat04-Subsubcat03-Subsubsubcat01-Forum12
Cat03-Subcat04-Subsubcat03-Subsubsubcat01-Forum13
Cat03-Subcat04-Subsubcat03-Subsubsubcat01-Forum14
... and on and on.

I have over 140 forums tightly organized to keep each category index from scrolling for miles. I could shrink it back to Cat-Forum-Subforum, but the index would be ungodly long.

Subcategories currently look hideous no matter what I do. I've been forced to change some subcategory levels (alternating) into closed forums with open subforums so that at least some of the indexes look as intended. I end up with the following:

Cat01
Cat01-Forum01
Cat01-Forum01-Subforum01
Cat01-Forum01-Subforum02
Cat01-Forum01-Subforum03
Cat01-Forum02
Cat01-Forum02-Subforum04
Cat01-Forum02-Subforum05
Cat02
Cat02-Forum03
Cat02-Forum03-Subforum06
Cat02-Forum03-Subforum07
Cat02-Forum03-Subforum08
Cat02-Forum03-Subforum08-Subsubforum01
Cat02-Forum03-Subforum08-Subsubforum02
Cat02-Forum03-Subforum09
Cat02-Forum03-Subforum09-Subsubforum03
Cat02-Forum03-Subforum09-Subsubforum04
Cat03
Cat03-Forum04
Cat03-Forum04-Subforum10
Cat03-Forum04-Subforum10-Subcat01
Cat03-Forum04-Subforum10-Subcat01-Subforum11
Cat03-Forum04-Subforum10-Subcat01-Subforum12
Cat03-Forum04-Subforum10-Subcat01-Subforum13
... and on and on.

I know it looks strange, and I don't like it either, but the result is that only every other level looks messed up (the "bad" levels do not display in columns as expected). It's the best I can do to make it partially presentable. It's almost like there needs to be a way to set the display such that subcategories receive subforum style treatment when they are beneath the current view level instead of category styles, and to be able to force the beautiful column format at every level, no matter how deep.

I've tried tinkering with various combinations of the following settings:
Depth of Forums - Forum Home: 2
Depth of Forums - Forum Display: 2
Depth of Sub-Forums: 1

Anything but this breaks everything and looks even worse.

I guess my question is, has anyone else found a fix for this. I tried the hacks above, and they didn't help. The problem got worse. Will the upcoming update fix these issues? If so, please tell me it's coming soon. I'd be happy to beta test it...

Regardless, thanks for a great mod! Even in its current state, VB's waaaaaay better than without it. It should be in the source code! :up:
