Other than adjusting the forum order in the Forum Manager, is there a simple method or intended upgrade to this hack which will allow the admin to change the order display ...

from
1 | 2
3 | 4
5 | 6

To

1 | 4
2 | 5
3 | 6

The latter order follows typical user alpha order expectations better.

Thanks.

[Reinn]

I would also love for it to have the same colors as my theme (Of the text, etc.) is that make-able?

[cfww2]

Excellent. Works a treat.

I love this forum. Everything I am having problems with has already been covered. I don't feel like such a dunce!

This mod is not compatible with google chrome,
if there's more subforums, the page go on the right with not default styles.
