That's a BIG help! It worked. But there is a minor problem.

I don't see the thread numbers/reply numbers beside the sub forums. Which code might it be to modify?

€dit: I fixed it accidentally

I was checking what's inside other template codes,
Cyb - Sub-Forum Manager - CT

and found another like that to replace, and it did fixed it.

Thank you for the mod, very nice and neat and thank you for the quick help, bobster65!

[jluerken]

How and where can I change the color of the subforum links?

[CFN-1]

Is there a way to make the alphabetical listing by column instead of by row?

Like: Column one: A, B, C

Column two: D, E, F, etc

Great mod, but I can't get my template style to work with it ( I am using default). How can I have the sub-forum manager to display the sub-forums titles with its own background box, separated from the category titles?



Thanks.

[raynexeo]

Great mod Installed!

Question though... How can I change the icon for each sub forum?

Thanks.

I notice that the top image column listing is sorted alphabetically. Is that because you have only one column or have you figured a way to do it with multiple columns?

I need to do that.

Does this work with 3.8 Gold?

[blackberry]

can we hide child forums from one parent forum?

[Noonster]

Yes its working with 3.8 fine
