very nice, have one problem though. Installed on 3.7. Looks good except for two forums have first subforum area pushed over to next column. How do I fix this? Image attached.

got it up and running cheers

[smokeyvol]

I just had a thought.....

I currently have 4 columns showing right now with about 3 to 4 rows. Would it be an easy update to be able to set the number of rows also, and only have the "Hottest" subforums appear on the forum home?

e.g.

Say I have 20 subforums, 4 columns, and 3 rows (for a total of 12 spots). Now only the top 12 "hottest" subforums are showing on the main page and all 20 are showing within the forum.

Hopefully I made some sense

ok i installed this i put forum ids in to hide them insde the forum i wanted them in and nothing happens
Eg: Help Main Forum
sub-forums- Help with, chat about and so on they still display on forumhome

[jedrus]

hi,
it's great mod! congratulations

[ArnyVee]

Fantastic...thanks for this! Works for me on 3.6.8 without issues.

[kronnos]

How do you make it have a space instead of the comma?

[iBaker]

Installed - fantastic, easy and is great - thank you!

There is always a but
1. In the "Last Post" column on the forum home - is there anyway to show the last posts in each of the sub forums as well in there?

2. Also I use a Category forum and then forums listed in that category. I then have sub forums hanging off one of the forums in a category. When going to a forum from the forums home the sub forums are displayed at the top of the forum display of threads. is there any way to not show the sub forums

Thanks for any suggestions and again thanks greatly for such a fantastic mod!
