Hi. Thanks for this nice addon. Small but very effective.
Could u add, in further Releases, an option where to choose the Description is available by mouseover or just underneath, like in normal forums?! Cheers

Would just like to note that there is a bug in this when having several sub-forums and trying to access the forum via Safari or Google Chrome, this plug-in is apparently not optimized for webkit and will widen the table instead of doing it's original purpose for those two browsers...This is what happened on my forum at least.

Well i have created many subforums to one main forum and now i have some display setings i want to tell me how can i change this. Well here are some photos of my problem and how i want the subforums to be shown:

For all those asking why it's not working in 3.8 you need to make sure depth of sub forums in vbulletin options is set to 1 will fix it

I love this mod, but it doesn't go far enough. Why do we only organize subforums on the forumhome? Below I've posted images of how subforums are presented (on my site w/ this hack) on a parent forums page, and then a mock up of what it should look like (in the spirit of this mod). Why can't we do this?

Note where the sub-forums end and the posts begin.

This is how this forum and it's subs are currently displayed with or without this mod:










This is how I believe that they should be displayed:

Did anyone ever figure this out? I have a fixed width style and if I have more than 3 subforums in a subscribed thread it stretches wider than my style. Any help is appreciated!
