uhm... I installed it and it doesnt work.... lol

its enabled, its on 2 colums and when I go to my forums it shows it the same way as it normally does... do I need to add something to the templates or something?

Works great.I needed to shorten some sub-forum names and to tool around with the settings, but looks good now. Many thanks for taking the time to create this.

I would however like to change the sort order of subforums on forumhome when in columns.

Instead of being sorted 'horizontally':

Column 1............Column 2
Subforum A........Subforum B
Subforum C........Subforum D


Would prefer it sorted 'vertically':

Column 1............Column 2
Subforum A........Subforum C
Subforum B........Subforum D


I took a look at the index globals assuming the output could be found and modified there, but couldn't figure it out.

Any assistance would be appreciated!

Yes, I agree. I'd like to do the same. Please let us know.

hi there! i found the bug:

Attachment 66609

If u dont understand: If i resize browser's windows i see smth like this. Table with list of forums not resized

why? i use 2.4 version of the hack

[BWJ]

Excellent hack! Does anybody know how to change the color of the subcategories? I can change the font size in CSS 3 - but not the color? I would like to have one color for level 1 categories and another for level 2.

i set # of columns to 2 but it's still in one column.
