   I am looking to do the exact same thing that has been done in this forum:

   http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/subforums-and-markup

   I want to hide the sub-forums from being shown in the homepage because they take up a lot of space, but I simply don't get it. When it says edit the templates so this looks like this. Which file in the template do I edit. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could explain how to do this.

   Thanks,
   K

   perhaps... front-page.php? Just a hunch (without reading the thread)

   I think more people have this problem?

   will somebody please write a clear way to do this?

   I don't get it either...

   This is quick solution but not perfect. Find <?php while ( bb_forum() ) : ?> in front-page.php and replace it with
   

   <?php while ( bb_forum() ) : global $forum; if ($forum->forum_parent != 0) continue;?>

   It only hides the subforums, so visitors have to click on a top level forum to see if there is any subforum within the top level forum.

   I have a different, but related problem - I only want to hide the descriptions for the sub forums on the homepage, not the whole table row. What if statement do I wrap around <?php forum_description(); ?> to do that?

   <?php global $forum; if ($forum->forum_parent == 0) forum_description(); ?>

   Quick explanation of the code: When $forum's forum_parent is 0, that means $forum is a top-level forum; if not, it is a sub-forum of another forum whose forum_id equals $forum's forum_parent.

   Ahhh... great, thanks. Next question, just about on topic, has anyone modified their front page bb_forum() loop so that sub-forums appear like they do on http://www.avforums.com/forums/index.php - just the title, but in the same row as the parent?
   Thanks,
