Sub-Forums?

[Joe]

Ok, i think i understand sub catagories, but im wondering if / how i could make a sub-forum?

Currently, i have a forum called "Road Biking", i want to have another forum, called "TDF 2K1", but i only want it to show up once you enter the road biking forum, at the top of the roadbiking forum, would be the tdf forum, can i do this? :)

You can make any forum a child of another. This is similar to how categories worked before. However now there are no categories, just forums.

You can also determine how many levels of categories to show on the main index page. So if you wanted all third level children to be shown only one their parent pages you would set this option to 2. This would give you:

-Category 1 (forum configured like a category)
-- Road Biking
-- Dirt Biking
-- Forum 3
-- Forum 4
-Category 2
--Forum 5

On the main page. Clicking on Road Biking would behave like clicking on a category in 1.1.5. And you would get.

--Road Biking
---TDF 2K1
---Forum 2
---Forum 3
---All Posts in Road Biking (if posting is allowed)

If you set child level to 3 you would get the following homepage:
-Category 1 (forum configured like a category)
-- Road Biking
---TDF 2K1
---Forum 2
---Forum 3
-- Dirt Biking
-- Forum 3
-- Forum 4
-Category 2
--Forum 5


You can even have forums on the top without being children to anything but allow posting.
