Unlimited subforms? I wonder what that means.

[Bob H]

The main feature page lists unlimited subforums as a new feature for Olympus. phpBB 2 has subforums, but they are limited to one level of subforums. With "unlimited" subforums, will you be able to have subforums within subforums?

phpBB 2 does not have subforums.

If you want to see how phpBB 3 does it, try the testing forum: viewforum.php?f=7

There is a MOD that supports subforums, but it is limited to one level of subforums(ie. a subforum cannot exist within another subforum).

Actually, I have tried it. It demonstrates the same limitation.

When I read the list of features, the use of the word "unlimited" made me think that you could have a subforum within a subforum. vBulletin allows such a situation. I was wondering in what context, the word "unlimited" is used.

But no. In phpBB 3 you can have really an unlimited numbers of subforums within other subforums.

And this is the situation with phpBB too; you can have subforums within subforums within subforums etc. However, you really shouldn't abuse that.

try checking the subforum testing on the main page, and you would have seen this, and this only SubForum mod i know of is Categories Heiarchy and it supports the same way phpBB 3 does.

There are more sub-forum mods than just the CH mod for phpBB2, the simple sub-forums mod he refers to does only allow one level deep (hence its simple).

i dont remeber this mod too much, hmmm... i had heard of it before but i searched and found no results in the Mod DB. ok well im sorry for that, but as i said just check the test foums and you would have seen, as i think there is a sub-sub-sub forum on the test site, is there not?

ias i think there is a sub-sub-sub forum on the test site, is there not?
