I don't know what you're talking about; can you give me a link to what FireFly posted?

The order of the links is based on the displayorder number you give each forum in the admin cp. However, the forums home page doesn't exactly list the forums in the same order, because the forums are grouped by category.

Say you have CategoryA, with a displayorder of 1. Then you have CategoryB, with a displayorder of 10. Then you have two forums, Forum1 with a displayorder of 2, and Forum2, with a displayorder of 3. If Forum2 is a subforum in CategoryA, on your forums home page, it will appear higher up that Forum1, even though it has a higher displayorder, because it's part of a category with a lower forumdisplay. I think that's probably a little confusing; I hope it makes sense.

What I did to get everything in the right order is this. For all categories, I gave them displayorders of 100, 200, 300, etc., in the order they should appear on the forums home page. Then for each main forum, I gave them a number like 110, 120, 130, etc., if the forum is in the first category (which has a displayorder of 100); for forums in the second category, they were numbered like 210, 220, etc., and so on, you get the idea. If any main forum has a subforum, say a forum with a displayorder of 110 has a subforum, the subforum displayorder is 111, and another would be 112, and so on. Make sense? If you renumber the displayorders of all your forums like this, they should show up on the board itself the same way they always have, but will also be in the correct order in the forumlinks.
