ζetaBoards, get over here!

I just discovered this as I was doing some modifications around my board, editing forums and such. I only tested it for a 4-chain, but it might work for more :)

I don't know if it's been posted already, but I've read everywhere that you can't have subforums inside subforums. Apparently you can though!

Take something like this for example:
Forum 1> Forum 2> Forum 3> Forum 4.
Set up Forum 3 under a category and set up Forum 4 under it.
Then, get the URL of the link to Settings in Manage Forums of Forum 3.
It should be something like: http://zX.invisionfree.com/X/admin.php?ads...ode=subedit&f=X
X's are the things that can change, in case you're wondering.
Copy that URL into a new tab/window and delete sub from subedit - you basically need to have just edit. This will allow you to put Forum 3 under Forum 2.
Repeat the same thing to have Forum 2 under Forum 1.

Downsides... there are some unfortunately.
1. Any 'smart' subforums (set up using the method above) will not be displayed in Manage Forums - I guess it could also be used to hide some forums from other nosy administrators. :rofl:
2. The subforums will shop up fine when browsing the board, but the Navigation (Forum Home > Category > Forum> etc...) will only display the last two forums (in our example, 3 and 4). [You may have noticed the main forum disappearing when editing a topic.]

Again, hope it hasn't been posted yet. If it has, just trash this topic.
If it doesn't, enjoy it until ZB's around!
