This is a great mod and I've been using it on the current forums I'm working on and when I started to add sections to view via forumdisplay the columns are there but they aren't in the right positions like they are on the forum home page. Could we have an update to fix this or is there something I can edit to fix this problem.

Thanks ahead of time

When I have it set to two columns, the mod won't scale with the browser. Set to one column and it will. How can I fix?

[GSeybold]

Great hack. I reduced the subforum text to 10px and used 7 columns. I think it looks much better and cleaner. I used the mod for only one forum with 50 subs. For the rest, I kept standard VB.

I don't what do say about this but as per instructions. I set my sub forum depth to "1" and lost my subforums. Set it back to 2 and everything works fine and I can see my sub forums as in image above.

How do you or could you tell me where to get mod to have more than one recent post displayed on the forum display as there is in your demo it looks like you have 36 subforums on your demo and you have 6 of the most recent posts from those subforums to the right of that...

Very cool mod we have several sections that have a lot of subforums and this mod lays them out cleanly...

Thanks...
