very nice. are the permissions brought over as well? i.e. if a usergroup isn't allowed to view a forum, are they also blocked from viewing the forum in this directory?

also, is it possible to make this into a vbadvanced module?

Thanks for your work. I like it, very nice!
It would be great if you could set the order how the forums appear on the list (other than the ones set in Forum Manager). At least I think forum #1 should start at top left side of the list, not at the bottom left. We all read from left to right and from up to down, don't we ?

I'm also very interested in a vBadvanced modul. I tried to create one, but my skills are not enough to do so.

The hack could be extremely helpful to give a nice and easy to read overview.
Again, thanks!

well poop - I can't upgrade to 3.6 - any chance you could at least give directions on how we can do it ourselves?

But I will just maintain de list of request in the 3.6 version..
