Posts: 2686/2915		 I don't remember how I did it here (and checking the code would probably give me an headache), but it's not that hard.

You can go at it in two ways:
- Add two fields to the database, one being a boolean that is TRUE when the forum is a subforum. The other field stores the id of the parent forum.

- Add only one field to the database that will contain the id of the parent forum. If that id is 0, that means it is not a subforum.

Then it is just a matter of adding the appropriate checks in the loop on the index.php page and do something like
while($subforum = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT FROM forums WHERE parent='".intval($forum['id'])."' ")))



Note that this particular piece of code probably wouldn't work by itself, because I haven't even looked at the board's code
