V1.0.0 Features
To get it on the Forum Home page, set the "vBulletin Options" > "Forum Listings Display Options" > "Depth of Forums - Forum Home" to "1".
For all other pages, set the "vBulletin Options" > "Forum Listings Display Options" > "Depth of Forums - Forum Display" to "1".
You should also set the "vBulletin Options" > "Forum Listings Display Options" > "Depth of Sub-Forums" to "1". Setting it higher will also work, however, beware that the grandchildren & indenting does not integrate well if using alphabetic sorting (use Forum Display Order sorting instead).
If the following templates have been modified from their original, either "revert" them or test this Mod carefully before use:
- Hide or edit the SubForums: display
- Add thread & post counts after SubForum names
- Allow a DEFAULT layout of between unchanged, 0 or 1 to 5 columns
- Allow INDIVIDUAL SubForums to be specifically set as unchanged, 0 or 1 to 5 columns
