O2BonCC:

The one thing that would improve #1 (to me, at least) would be if you could list the subs one per line, and show additional info like latest post/poster/timestamp/number of unread threads for each. Maybe with an option to collapse, especially for the categories with huge numbers of subs like Colleges and Majors.

I think the option to collapse is critical for that to work. Especially the school forums, which are huge. But this is future work, I’m afraid. The prebuilt options are somewhat limited.

I prefer the boxes because they aren’t just a wall of words.

I should note that the boxes don’t look quite so good when there are tons of subcategories or none. Notice the College Essays in my screenshot looks a bit lonely. The school forums just go on and on forever, if I’d taken a screenshot of the bottom of the list. Not the worst thing, but it is a bit on the odd side.
