it looks like mine is doing that already (it shows a gold, or a blue icon next to each sub-forum).

That has to be the easiest freakin thing I have ever installed LOL WTG!! Thank you so much! :banana:

[serhat_kk]

propz...installed...

how do i remove "," comas ?

[FLMom]

I didn't even notice the comma's until now lol

[Robert Basil]

Does not for work me either. Bummer as I would love to be able to use this. Which variables does this hack use so those of us with custom templates can add them back to our templates?

[Valter]

Check if you have these two templates with "," in them:
forumhome_subforumseparator_post
forumhome_subforumseparator_nopost

If you wish you can manually replace comma with this:
, <if condition="$vboptions['cybsubforumarranger_enable']">Cybernetec</if>

Thanks for this.

A small item...When this hack is installed the sub-forum font size gets slightly bigger. The sub-forum links should be surrounded by <div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:6px"> but I think the tables your hack adds loses that info. Is there a quick way to add that back?

[PennylessZ28]

Thats a good hack, and a lot easier than the other methods which are far more involved.
