Forum Display Question

[Cooleyvol]

I've searched and tested, but can't get this to work as I want it to.

Here's the example:

Category "Cars"
Sub Forums:
Pontiac -- has Trans Am and Firebird subcategories
-- Firebird has two subs of its own.
Ford -- has Mustang and Cobra subcategories
Toyota -- has Camry and Corolla subcategories

Here's what I want to show on the main forum page:

Pontiac with the T/A and Firebird subcategories listed below it with the small icons.
Ford and Toyota below that.

When clicking on Pontiac, I want to see T/A and Firebird. Under Firebird, I want the two subs showing with the small icons. They are listed below it now, but take up a full row of the table on the page. I don't want that.

Mainly, I DON'T want the two Firebird subs showing on the main forum page, but showing on the Firebird page. I can get them to list when clicking Firebird, but not show up just below it as just text links with the small icon next to them.

Is that possible and what are the forum display settings that I need to use?
