Sounds like you want sub-forums, which FUDforum does not support.

Is it something you considered and found too hard to implement for your existing code or just something you don't need?

The point is that I would like that too but I still prefer FUD over IPB. I try to figure out if I could make such a change for myself. As far as I see (and I don't see too far) I would need to make the following changes:

Add a field for parent_id in *_forums table
Write a function for listing subforums in the forum views & call it in t=forum
Figure out the nedded changes for the hierarchy line links above the main forum & topic views
Add another selection field in forum management admin to indicacte the parent forum & consequent function changes
Figure out the posts & threads count issue (may be leave them as is, just add # of subforums count beside the forum name like in CMSs?)
May be modify moderator's rights handling & admin allowing to moderate the whole forum with subforums from any level or just one forum.

Did I miss something important?
Is there anything too difficult to work around?
Will that engender much heavier load on the system/slowdowns?

As far as I understandm this would give FUD forum the ability to create unlimited subforum levels. even though I can't imagine a use for more than 3 levels, yet it could be limited in the code, right?

The basic question is: does it worth trying to make such a change (my trying) in your opinion and/or would you be willing to help with minor indications on important places for change if I decide to do it however?

What this question is NOT about: whether you'll be willing to include it as a feature of your forum - I will try to figure it as a hack for others (if successfull) if I can.

P.S. - Oups! bugs? On preview button hit it cicked me to the index of all forums!
