Ok - I believe I have what you want

May be related to the new feature I just did (see above), or may simply be the use of the existing "Forums to not show any SubForums" option

Set that in VB Options/Forum Listings Display Options and if I remember correctly set the 1st setting for forum home display to 1 and the subs will only show when the forum is opened.

Change Log

1. Extra option added to allow specific forums to not show up in the SubForum list
