forumbit_depth2_cat and and forumbit_depth2_forum.

Both of them are identical

<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top" align="right" style="white-space: nowrap">{$lastpost}</td>
</tr>

Any explanation please? (I know I opened a similar thread in the past but for some reason the MyBB staff had nothing to say about this).

They are used in different circumstances; for when a forum is a category or when it is a forum, or if it is a category inside of a forum etc. They are identical because of the way MyBB works sub-forums, it is difficult to gather the depth and use the same template.

Now I see I said it's confusing because the forumbit_depth1_cat template is totally different from the forumbit_depth2_cat. I would have thought that both are the same but the first for the index page and the latter for the forumdisplay page, when you click a category. That was my understanding of depht1 and depht2.

Thanks for clearing this up.
