Displaying Newest Category Posts In Subforum Listing

[orth]

Hiya all,

While surfing around at many example styles, I often see the subforum listings having the newest thread listed as well (see Attachment 1)

But on my forum it always shows up with just the subforums listed (see Attachment 2)

Is this a configuration setting or perhaps a mod/style or perhaps it only shows threads that are newer then a certain date (I'm currently working with a 2 month old import of our existing forums)?

I am using the Cyb - Forumhome Sub-Forums Manager if that changes anything.

Thanks for any pointers, cheers.

you can edit the "Depth of Forums" setting in admincp / vbulletin Options

Also, setting the "vbulletin" forum as a category will help.

Some of the most common ways to setup individual forums include:

• Category ? this is a forum that people cannot post in; it is just used for grouping other forums. Act as Forum must be set to no.
• ?Normal? Forum ? this is simply a regular forum that people can post in. You will need Act as Forum, Forum is Active, and Forum is Open set to yes.
• ?Sub? Forum ? this is a regular forum that people can post in and is a subset of a 'Normal' Foum. You will need Parent Forum set to the name of the Forum this will fall under, Act as Forum, Forum is Active, and Forum is Open set to yes.
• Link Forum ? this really is not a forum at all. It is just a link to another webpage; it could be another forum, or it could be an entirely different site. To create this type of forum, specify a URL in the Forum Link option.
• Archive Forum ? this forum was once a ‘Normal Forum?, but is now just used as an archive for old information. Set Forum is Open to no.

Heya Princeton,

Thanks for the reply. I dug a little deeper after reading this and realized that I need to set my subcategories to act as a Forum even if they don't contain threads but only contain subforums.

For example

- Top1
-- SubForum1
--- SubSubForum1
--- SubSubForum2

In my case I wanted Top1 to not act as a forum, but SubForum1, SubSubForum1 and SubSubForum2 to act as forums, despite not wanting any threads in the root of SubForum1. I'll just manage that with permissions.
