to update just upload and select overwrite all right?

Hi Cybernetec, could you please add an option to this:
"-Added: Options to show thread-count or reply-count or both after sub-forum title"

Its fine if a subforum is a real forum but if a subforum is a link the (0/0) looks really strange

This should be off by default for link forums!

[Aaron RV]

Possible change width table with " width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]"" ?

[phpdevrus]

nice. :-) going to add this one once i fix up my upgraded board.

Thats exact what I wanted to say. Tha would be great, I have a lot of Links, but many more Subforums.

And I found a Bug.

If I enter some Forum in Exclude, this Subforums were not shown in Columns, but also the extra Style is used and the Thread/Post Count is also shown up.

is their a way to change the Text color for thread/reply count for diferent style sheets, my forum uses various style sheets that's user selectable, and the one colour does not work with all styles.

Thanks
Derek

Template: cyb_cybsfa_counts
Change all instances of: color="$vboptions[cybsfa_tr_countcolor]" to what you want, or just remove it.

[Derekclarke]

Thanks for the update.

I know this says for forum home, but on forumdisplay it arranges them in subcolumns as well. However, on forumdisplay it bunches them more closely together even though there is room for the subforums to be listed more organized (like on forumhome)

How can I get the spacing on forumdisplay to be like the spacing on forumhome?

*edit*
I found out that on forumdisplay its contingent upon the length of the forum description.
