I would like to know if its complicated to change this hack to a forumdisplay sub-forums manager. I use this, but I have a few subforums that have other forums acting just like links, so when I enter the parent forumhome_subforum I see all those sub-subforums one on top of each other instead of columns like your hack

heheheeh sorry if its a bit buggy.
Thank you,
Jack

cybernetec, I would be interested in this too. Thoughts?

OK, everything seems to work fine in this mod, except for the fact that it doesn't put it in columns. Any ideas ? I set the subforum depth to 1. Check it out here. No matter what I do, I get one column, with the bullets. How do I ditch the bullets ?

[David Gillaspey]

Seems to work well. Love all the options. Thanks for the mod!

I could not unstuff/unzip the download file using my Macintosh, however. (I get an error message.) I had to use my PC for this instead.

Sincerely,

David Gillaspey

Minor question. I see that some people have made the font size smaller for their sub forum titles. How did you guys do that? (still learning things here)

Installed on 3.6.4 and working great awesome hack and great support

I have tried to set the colums to 2 and used the  

This works, BUT

It also adds a trailing _____ for each space indicitive of the underline

Any way to get ride of this?
