    [Forum] Question about forums and sub forums

    OK, so on my site here (no way near done, just trying to figure this out). Under HTC there are like 10 sub forums, how do I get all those just under HTC?

    You need to make HTC a category then the others fall under that. Under Posting Options make sure that Act as Forum is set to no. Then make sure that the HTC category is set to No One under the setting Parent Forum.

        Go to AdminCP > Forum Manager> select HTC
        new screen opens

        First thing that you want to do is change the drop box for Parent Forum to no one

        then scroll down and under Posting Options find

        Act as Forum
        (Will act as category if no)

        and set it to NO

                  You can do that by changing the display order. Go to Forum Manager and put them in the order that you want them in.

                  I usually go in increments of 10 or so to leave room if I want to insert something.
