Exactly. We should have option to chose categories, entire forum would be too much.
Waiting patiently for update on earlier versions of 4.1.x.

That's my forum url. It isn't so bad offline but when logged in is when it over flow. If the cell for the on/off icons was shrunk, and set a fixed for the content, and stat cells.

Edit: I also agree that choosing certain boards is a good idea.

I checked your forum.. I couldn't find any reason for the problem..
I took a look in the source code and everything looks fine.
I let you know as soon as I figure out how to fix that.

I like the idea, but it a little complicated..
First I will release a version for 4.1.X in a few days.. then I'll start work on this feature.

As I see you have fixed width.. there is no enough space to contain the all information (last post, stats).
You can shrunk the status icon if you like.. go to stylevars and find: forumicon_size
or you can manually delete the last post or the stats.

In the next version I will add more options to deal with situations like this.

Your forums are sub-forums from some reason..
Which it weired because sub-forums to category should be just forums.
I'm not sure what you should do to change that..

[tarzan22]

Fixed, but as I can avoid the blanks?

thanks

[doctorsexy]

it looks ok if you can set it out without the blank spaces..
but on most existing forums thats not going to be possible..

thanks anyway...

try change the order of the categories so categories that have the same number of forums will be side by side..
I have no other suggest for now ..
