Index getting crowded.

[gajinoz]

At the moment my index page layout is pretty much default but it is getting longer and longer. What I would like to do is condense it a little to make navigation a bit easier.

Can anyone tell me how to do something like this site here:

http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/forum.php

Is it mod?

I think this would work.

It is a subforum manager by VSa.

Thanks for that but it doesn't really do what I want. The forums in each category don't have that many, if any, sub forums so that mod doesn't do much for me. I need to condense the whole index page like in the link.

I'm guessing it might have been a mod specifically commisioned by them.

The mod that Richie posted is what your example is using.. or something similar.

Maybe a link to your actual site would give us a better idea of what you're after.

OK, it looked to me like it just put sub forums under forum in columns, not all the forums under category. Maybe I'm just not looking at it right. I guess I could give it a go.

Here is my current index page:

They are running a mod like vSA's sub forum mod. How they have set it up is the category is the top link and all the forum areas under it are the smaller links. Its a "out of the box" setting in vSA'S subforum manager. So using your site as an example to make it easier:

Main category is "Forum Rules". Then the little smaller links in the box would be...
General Forum Rules & Rules for the Exchange Forums. Those little links would have the tiny balloons and just the links.

OK, that's great, I'll give it a go, thanks.

No prob, hope it works out for you.

[gajinoz]

Nope, didn't seem to work. Well, it's working but it did what I thought, it arranged the little sub forums under the bigger forums into columns. I couldn't see any way in the settings to make the category the top level with forums in the category arranged under that.

Possibly I've missed something here but I can't see what.

There is one other subforum managers but I do not remember where it is on here. Try to search for it in the mods area.
