1. Being to have an option to totally remove the sub-forum list for any given forum.

2. To rename the current option from "Leave alone" the name doesn't really suit the setting.. should be "remove column settings from these forums:"

Yes, this would be the perfect Mod if this issue was resolved - to be able to 'hide' specific sub forums would be the cherry on the iceing.

Does anyone know a way around this by any chance?

[Valter]

To hide sub-forum go to it's options page and set "Forum is Active" to "No".

(Will not appear if set to no, but remains accessible if the forum's URL is known)

Is it possible to have two different settings for how many columns it displays?

I want one forum to show the sub-forums in TWO columns, and another forum to show the sub-forums in ONE column.

Cyberbetec - any chance I could get you please to take a look at my forum when ya free as not working for me?

[Scooterpig]

Anyone???

Is it possible to prevent this mod from working on certain themes?

I have several to choose from and a few members would like the classic layout of the Forums and SubForums.

This seems an excellent addition to vBulletin. Loaded and installed perfectly. However, I cannot seem to get it to make more than one column, regardless of which values I change in this add-on or in the forum display set "Depth of Sub-Forums" to "1" in vBulletin Options > Forum Listings Display Options.

After checking through all the 38 pages on this thread, I've seen several suggestions, but none that seem to work.

I'm new to php and vBulletin and this is the first plug-in that I've tried, so that may also be a problem, although the directions were quite good.

I found the problem with mine. The "Forum Description under "File Manager" was too long. Deleting any forum description allowed this excellent patch to work as described and I really do like how the forum now looks. Thanks Harley D (another biker I assume) for taking the time to answer and of course to Cyb for writing this for no charge.

In order for it to work for me I had to set the Depth of Forums - Forum Home to 1
in the Forum Listings Display Options.

What I would like to do is be able to disable it only for certain Skins/Themes.
Does anybody have any idea on how I might do this?
