Sub-Forums, how do i do this .. ?

[Heartless]

How would i make my sub-forums list look like it looks on this site ?

http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/

Can anyone help ?

They have the following option in the forum settings set to YES
List subforum in parent-forum’s legend

There should be a drop down box when you are creating a new forum, it should look like this.
CATEGORY: Main
>>Forum News
>>General Chat
You add the sub-board to General Chat and it will double the ''>>''.

Thats not what i mean ... i mean the styling/layout and positioning of the sub forums. How to change this so they appear differently on the board index?

Steam has their own software for the forums, so it probably is built in for them. But how did you get it?

Just needed to add some styling to the subforum links and also a few edits to a template file. I didn't make it exactly like the steam forums, i'm happy with how it looks now though.

    a.subforum.read {
       background-image: url("../imageset/icon_post_target.gif");
    }

    a.subforum.unread {
       background-image: url("../imageset/icon_post_target_unread.gif");
    }

    a.subforum {
       background-image: none;
       background-position: 0 50%;
       background-repeat: no-repeat;
       position: relative;
       white-space: nowrap;
       padding: 0 0 0 12px;
    }
