Zorky!! You are the man!!

No need to wait - This is the vB4 adjustment of my vB3 version here ;-)

[edit] I see you have one of the "other" mods working in your old forum - No need to change if you are happy with what that does - mine does offer a bit more though [show-hide / more-less / SORTING / more variation / etc]

VonDoom how did you get the posts/threads counter behind your subforums like you did here http://k9bsl.com/index.php

SubForum size envy?

I appreciate you having you site link as it helps everyone (including me) see what is possible - I've seen people using various combinations of sorting / columns / more-less / show-hide / formatting / etc and it really makes some sites look great!

PS: For yours, I'd remove the   from the Count Close Text (after the )) to get rid of that little space between the ) and the , or simply clear the ,  from the SubForum separator option

Should just be a case of setting "Display Post/Thread Counts (combines with all previous settings)" / "Display Post/Thread Counts after SubForum name for" to "ALL"

PS: Feel free to play with the options - change / delete / etc - NO permanent damage can be done to your system, it only changes the runtime display - Disable the PlugIn to instantly go back to the original display - Uninstall and Re-install the PlugIn to go back to the defaults - Nice and safe!

Nope, unfortunately not, can it be caused that i have selected mod will HIDE any subforums?

Couldnt get it work in 3.8 either the last years. Also thought it was not possible.

Can somebody upload a screenshot of their admincp settings for this mod?
