How to change forumhome so that it'll show a "chain" of depth?

[BirdOPrey5]

Yeah unfortunately indenting the icons would be a major PITA because they are in tables/rows/columns that can't be arbitrarily placed. I'm not saying it's impossible but changing the table structure isn't a simple task and is more than I could walk someone through here. I would suggest possibly using an alternate icon for subforums to give them a different look.

Actually... try this... Keep a copy of your original code if this doesn't work...

<if condition="!$show['collapsable_forums']">
<tbody>
</if>
	<tr align="center">
		<td class="alt1Active" colspan="2" align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]">
		<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
		<tr>
<td width="20">&nbsp;</td>
			<td>
&nbsp;<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forum[imageprefix]forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>
			<td><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" alt="" width="9" height="1" border="0" /></td>
			<td>
			<div>
				<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>
				<if condition="$show['browsers']"><span class="smallfont">(<phrase 1="$forum[browsers]">$vbphrase[x_viewing]</phrase>)</span></if>
			</div>

			</td>
