Please help me. I'm having problems listing select whole forum lists as subforums under a specific category. I don't want to "sub-forum" all my forums under each category, but only under specific categories I choose. Please see the link attached below. I only want to create subforums of the "Public Land Profiles" list of forums under the "Public Land Profiles" category (to where Acadiana Conservation Corridor, Alexander State Forest, Atchafalaya Delta, etc etc are un a 2-3 column subforum structure). Thanks:

If you find out how to do that, let me know. I know what you're wanting to do but I don't THINK you will be able to do it without a master forum there (within the category) to put them under. Look at mine www.southernoutdoorlife.com. Good looking site by the way.:up:

Thanks. Great looking site! Yeah you could use one under your "General Firearms Discussion" category just like my "Public Hunting Land Profiles" category. Please let me know if any of ya'll find a solution to this. It would seem to be an easy feature to add and is surely a common issue.

Hi can you help me with a small formatting issue?

I cannot figure out why my forumdisplay is shifted after the first subforum

example can be seen here: http://www.jamhook.com/forumdisplay.php?f=5

as you can see the subforums arent lined up correctly. it may have something to do with:
<thead>

<tr align="center">

<td class="thead" width="6%">&nbsp;</td>

<td class="thead" width="44%" align="left">Forum</td>

<td class="thead" width="34%">Last Post</td>

<td class="thead" width="8%">Threads</td>

<td class="thead" width="8%">Posts</td>



</tr>

</thead>


thanks!

Is there a way to remove the LAST POST segment from posting on the right side of the forum? I want to expand the categories to use all the space (no last post shown) for subforums

You may be able to set the column margins to 0 in the CP.

Thanks for the tip however where would I find that? Its not in the settings options, and would it not have to be in this plugin code somewhere?

I'm trying to remember where it is. I upgraded to vB4 awhile back. I think it's in the template edits.
