    [Forum] Displaying subforums on the main forum page

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded to 4.x and decided to redo our guilds forums, however I have ran into a problem.

    I am trying to create a forum category for each of the mmos that our guild plays, with multiple sub categories in each, but i can't get them to display on the forum homepage.

    Currently our homepage displays like this

    General Guild Information (Category)
    General Guild Topics (Forum)
    Secured Guild Topics (Forum)

    Star Wars "Old Republic" (Category)
    Alliance Holonet (Category)

    (If you click on Alliance Holonet it displays)
    Alliance Comm-link (forum)
    Alliance Operations (forum)

    Is there a setting I can change to get the two topics under "Alliance Holonet" to display on the main page without having to click on "Alliance Holonet"?

    Thanks,

      Tried that still didnt work, below is a copy of the settings I have currently, I have tried to play around with some of the numbers but nothing seems to work.

      Forum Listings Display Options
      Depth of Forums - Forum Home
      Depth to show forums on forum home forum listings. If you set this value to '2', forum listings will show the current forum level and any child forums one level below (etc.)
      3

      Depth of Forums - Forum Display
      This setting does the same job as the setting above, but this time for forumdisplay.php pages, rather than forum home.

      3

      Depth of Sub-Forums
      If you have forums below the depth specified in the 'Depth of Forums' settings above, you can display them as sub-forum links in each forum's display area.

      Set this value to 0 if you want to display no sub-forums.


      2

      Show Forum Descriptions in Forum Listings
      Show forum descriptions below forum titles in forum listings?
      Yes


      Show Private Forums
      Select 'No' here will hide private forums from users who are not allowed to access them. Users who do have permission to access them will have to log in before they can see these forums too.

      This option applies to any forum listing, including the Quick Navigation menu, and Search Results.
      NoYes - Hide Post CountsYes - Display Post Counts
      No

      Show Lock Icons to Users
      Do you wish to have the new post indicators shown on the index page (on.gif and off.gif) be shown with locks to guests and other members who have no permission to post?

      No

      Last Thread Title Maximum Displayed Characters
      This value will chop the title of the last thread posted down to a specific number of characters for its display on a forum listing.

      A value of 0 will not trim the titles at all.

      30

      Show Moderator Column
      Turns the moderator column on and off for forumhome, forumdisplay and usercp.
      YesNo
      no



      Show Thread Prefix in Last Post Column?
      You may choose to show a thread's prefix in the last post column, along with the title. This will increase the size of the data included in that column, however.
      Yes, rich text version

            With depths set at 2 I was able to get this. Only thing wrong is where's the last post info? Too deep to show?
