Screenshot. Stealed image from the great Stunner-Entertainment forum, hope you don't mind!! :nervous:



Step 1. Open:
forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
forumhome_forumbit_level1_post
forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost
forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Find:

<strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]

Replace with:

<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->
	<form action="forumdisplay.php" method="get">
		<input name="s" value="" type="hidden">
		<input name="daysprune" value="-1" type="hidden">
		<select name="f" onchange="this.form.submit();">
<if condition="$forum[statusicon] == 'new'">
<option value="$forum[forumid]" style="font-weight:bold;">$forum[title]</option>
<else />
<option value="$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</option>
</if>
			$forum[subforums]
		</select>
                <input class="button" value="$vbphrase[go]" type="submit">
	</form>
<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->

Step 2. Open:
forumhome_subforumbit_nopost
forumhome_subforumbit_post

Replace the templates with:

<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->
<option value="$forum[forumid]">

<if condition="$forum[depth] == '2'">
&nbsp; &nbsp;
</if>
<if condition="$forum[depth] == '3'">
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
</if>

<if condition="$forum[statusicon] == 'new'">
+&nbsp;
<else />
-&nbsp;
</if>

$forum[title]

</option>
<!-- Subforum pull-down menu --------------------------------------->

Caution. Not every forum need this, our forum has a lot of forums, and forum names are in different languages, so we have to do this. Otherwise, showing all the forums seems to be better for user-friendliness. :devious:
