    Problem Showing Subforum as a Subforum Listing on Forum Home page

    Goal: To have the subforum appear on the "forum home" page not as a subforum link but a subforum listing (indented) just as it does on forumdisplay.

    Under "Forum Listings Display Options" vB settings group.
    Have "Depth of Forums - Forum Home" at 2
    Have "Depth of Forums - Forum Display" at 2
    Have "Depth of Sub-Forums" at 1 (makes links if below above "Depth of Forrms" settings)

    How the board is set up:
    Level One: Have a Category
    Level Two: Then Forums under the category.
    Level Three: Then a subforum off of a forum.

    With the above settings the subforum on "forum home" page displays as subforum link.

    Goal: To have the subforum appear on the forum home page not as a subforum link but a subforum listing (indented) just as it does on forumdisplay.

    When "Depth of Forums - Forum Home" is increased to 3. The subforum link disappears but no subforum listing is created.

    Thanks for the help team vB.

    That's because there are no default templates for level 3 forums. You need to create new templates named forumhome_forumbit_level3_post and forumhome_forumbit_level3_nopost. You can add a new template in your:

    Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Add New Template (in the menu)

    You can just use the contents of the corresponding level2 templates in the level3 templates. You need to change the code slightly if you want a different appearance for level3 forums.
