What I mean is how for instance, in General Discussions we can see 4 sub-forums, but only one latest post. The way it is now, I would call "collapsed."
An expanded view, would be so that it expands like a normal category, or at least shows the latest post. For instance, what you see while in that category, like here.
Could be done with a +/- button or something.
Anyways, either here or Xenforo. That's the suggestion though.
Most times I prefer to check the latest post, refreshing periodically. It lets me know if a thread in a certain section was posted on, but if I can't see the latest post for four sections then I have no idea if a thread got a reply or not.
