Hack:
Better Sub-Forum Placement

Inspired by the "Better Similar Threads Placement" hack which can be found at the following URL:
Better Similar Threads Placement

Author:

vBulletin Version:
Tested on 3.5.1 - but should work on all 3.5 versions.

Problem:
If you have a large amount of Sub-Forums within a forum users have to scroll past them to view threads.

Solution:
This hack places the list of Sub-Forums within a drop-down menu meaning no more scolling for your users. If the forum in question has no threads and only Sub-Forums, the Sub-Forums are shown as normal.

Install time:
About 2 mins, if that!

Number of Templates to edit:
1
