MyBB Community Forums

I've seen a lot of threads of forums displaying as horizontal (normal) rows or vertical columns but not like the one that I have in mind. There is one feature that Discuz and maybe vB or Xenforo has (I only have Discuz) that does it a LOT better


The first pic shows in it's admin CP the number of forums inside of one category displayed in the main site; clicking on the category will also display them as horizontal boxes.


The second pic shows one category with three forums with their icons next to them and one category with six. I dunno which php file on discuz does this, as I only worked on the test forum for one day.

I dunno if this place has similar like this, only one I can come up with was this https://community.mybb.com/thread-158915.html but that looks like it affects every category and not just ones you select + only two forums per row

Okay, so I wound up doing https://community.mybb.com/thread-158915.html method, but see how the look of it is kinda bland 

I want for each category the forum boxes to be equally leveled as I don't want this excess gray stuff showing. In fact, the look should be similar to in my first post. Also, this gray box inside each of the forums, which I don't know if it's a status icon, which I have gotten rid of in the .css because I want forum icons to replace in (tried both plug-ins this place has to offer and test it in one of the forums, none of them worked). I know that inspecting it on Chrome and clicking the <span class="float_right forum_status forum_off ajax_mark_read" title="Forum Contains No New Posts" id="mark_read_6"><i class="fa fa-quote-right"></i></span> and taking height and width off got rid of it, but when I attempt the same thing in the forumbit template and save, the boxes are still there. How can I get rid of them?

You can also consider this method and adapt to your needs:

Today I would never prefer a <table> design, when there is a responsive solution available

I don't know if it was meant for the first problem or the gray box inside the white, because I already somehow found a way to fix that and now I can use forum icons with no problem.
