I am looking at the differances in the stock funtions_forumhome and the modified one when i find out how to do it without any hacking i will let you guys know and post a new product
until then you can edit your funtions_forumlist.php file:
Code:

find:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
if ($subsonly)
{
$childforumbits = construct_forum_bit($forum['forumid'], 1, $subsonly);
}

{
$childforumbits = construct_forum_bit($forum['forumid'], $depth, $subsonly);
}
else
{
$childforumbits = '';
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
change it into:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' AND $forum['subforumcolumns'] != 1 AND ($subsonly OR $depth < MAXFORUMDEPTH))
{
$childforumbits = construct_forum_columns($forum['forumid'], $forum['subforumcolumns']);

{
$childforumbits = construct_forum_bit($forum['forumid'], $depth, $subsonly);
}
else

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
then add this new function to the file:
