Does anyone know what plugin / hack you need to use to get the subforums to display like they do on here?
Hello, It isnt a hack. You simply go to "Forum Listings Display Options" in the "vBulletin Options" menu. Then I personally set "Depth of Forums - Forum Home = 2" and "Depth of Forums - Forum Display = 2" hope that helps. Regards
Don't feel dumb. I've been using vBulletin for years and I still get confused by those settings. They're not very intuitive.
Yeah, when I started off using vB even i had problems configuring the above settings. IMO the vB admin cp needs a major overhaul.
Along with the above settings if you wish to display a subforum of level more than three or more than you should follow these instructions http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=172701
Even I have to go back and check things from time to time -- vBulletin is so customizable, its all but impossible to know everything -
