It was already set at 1. I see my subforums listed on forumhome which is what I want, however when I click on the main forum, I dont want them listed at the top...I was told this was a template edit, im just not sure which templates to edit.
To find the template to modify, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code. (Sometimes the template is the one mentioned at the very top of the page source.)
