Great tool!
IS there a possibility to sort the sub forums on an alphabetic way aswell?

Still a lot of people request this. Going to the Forum Manager and update display order is not an option, since that would mess up the way sub forums look when looking at them in forumdisplay.php

How can you hide the Subforum list for certain forums? Is it the 'Leave alone sub-forums in these forums (comma separated ID list)' option? Because I've tried putting the Forum ID in (for example, '3') but it's not working.

Same here.

The subforum "leave alone" thing makes your subforums on the index still appear, yet not in collums.

Also - is it normal that private forums normally not visible for regular members occur after enabling this hack?

Thanks in advance!

yea, seems like what it does is just remove the coloum setting but instead displays the sub forums in a line.. so I think there should be a few additions or changes..

1. Being to have an option to totally remove the sub-forum list for any given forum.

2. To rename the current option from "Leave alone" the name doesn't really suit the setting.. should be "remove column settings from these forums:"

not work

I noticed that my Forum Home has the forums stretched out beyond the page. Is anyone else having this?

On Edit:

I set the columns back to three and it fits within the home forum. Is it possible to have the hack automatically fit the home forum without changing the settings like like that?

This is a fab hack, but I've just had to revert back to the original release as even set to 2 columns it stretched my forum front page display

Are you using Firefox? I think on my boards the members with the issue are FF users.
