So maybe I am missing something, but how do I input the amount of columns I want?

vBulletin Options > Cyb - Sub Forum Manager (towards the bottom)

Thanks for this! It working fine on 3.8.4

Excuse me for the noob question but how do you control the number of sub forums per column? I have 2 columns selected but all 5 sub forums are on column 1 and nothing on 2?

UPDATE: Some styles have different effects so, I just have to keep on looking which bit in the style that does the damage.

No, when you are in Control Panel..top left you'll see vBulletin Options. Click on that and it will bring a list on the right. Towards the bottom of that list you'll see Cyb - Sub Forum Manager. Double click on it and it'll bring up the options for customisation.

[BizAdventure]

Ok, really, I am not an idiot, and I usually understand stuff - and sure, I know where to find the manager, but the section that let's me pick the columns is NOT there. I am not trying to be smart alecky, actually, I am sitting here LAUGHING because it's probably something simple. But let me show you a picture and maybe that will help you see, that I don't see it - but I imagine that what I am looking for is right where I have the red arrow.

[Abbsta]

Yes it should be in there where the arrow is pointing. Maybe try re-installing it.
