No I want just Subforums not Main forums

Like this http://www.thetechgame.com/Forums.html
I don't think MyBB allows multiple parent forums in one/first trow. If they do then I guess it would require a lot of edits.

They do allow it Protechmodz did it...
I don't think they are parent forums. They look more like sub-forums to me however I can be wrong.

Thats what I want I want Sub-Forums no Main forums

Like Protechmodz
Not really hard to achieve.

1. Make categories: ProTechModz, General, Gaming etc.
2. In each category add one another category as a child, names don't matter, you can type anything you want.
3. In each child category add your subforums as children.
4. Now the trickiest part - in forumbit_depth2_cat template in 2nd <td> remove everything except subforums code: {$subforums}. You can leave {$forum['description']} and {$forum_viewers_text} if you want though.

Thanks you but now my Icon so no new post...
How do I fix that?
Well, I told you can leave stuff like {$forum['description']} if you want. And I don't think the status icon was in 2nd <td>... Anyways, to bring it back click Diff Report in forumbit_depth2_cat Options, copy the whole <img ... /> code and/or whatever you want and paste it back to template.
