You may wish to read the definition of free software: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software

Also note that it claims to collapse *all* forums, as opposed to select ones.

Good point.
Am definitely not that conversant in IT terms.
But thought the concept of MyBux was interesting... guess maybe a way to try to get folks to use the forum, who knows ?
Not sure how 'open' the software would be.
But, will definitely be checking any 'plugins' out with forums like this before trying... just like did with xthreads, and think it really helped.
Will keep at it.

And, yes, would like the homepage to open always with categories in a collapsed view... and, if possible, to go back to the collapsed view if the homepage is refreshed.

If you don't mind the categories will be collapsed when the index is refreshed or every times the index is accessed, you can try this:

functions_forumlist.php, find:

PHP Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

if(isset($collapsed[$collapsed_name]) && $collapsed[$collapsed_name] == "display: show;") { $expcolimage = "collapse_collapsed.gif"; $expdisplay = "display: none;"; $expaltext = "[+]"; } else { $expcolimage = "collapse.gif"; $expaltext = "[-]"; }

Change it to:

PHP Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

if(isset($collapsed[$collapsed_name]) && $collapsed[$collapsed_name] == "display: show;") { $expcolimage = "collapse.gif"; $expaltext = "[-]"; } else { $expcolimage = "collapse_collapsed.gif"; $expdisplay = "display: none;"; $expaltext = "[+]"; }

Personally (only my personal opinion), I prefer to do a template edit (maybe forumbit_depth1_cat) by using a javascript toggle things, like accordion and etc.
