As far as i know,the standard plugin doesn't come with such features...
So,is there a plugin that is able to create subcategories?
I am in a situation where i am in need of such things on my community.
If i don't made myself clear,i'll give you an example
So,this is the forum :
__________________________
Coding(Category)
- .NET Languages(Forum) // Now i want this forum to have subcategories,like
-- .Net Tutorials
-- .Net Project examples
-- .Net Finished Projects
__________________________
And so on,i need this feature to keep my things clean,is it possible?

Yes, you are right Oxwall doesn't have this feature in standard "Forum" plugin.
I'm not sure if
there some existing plugin but you can try searching one in our
Store.
In case there is no existing solution the best way is to
find a third-party developer at

Well thats kinda sad,isn't oxwall planning to make this upgrade?
Hiring a developer for such a small feature is kinda money-wasting,when there are so many other platforms that offer this (But moving to another platform isn't really the best option,cuz i have alot of content on my community,and i can't afford to lose all of it)

This plugin seems to offer sub cats.

I haven't tested it. So I do not make any recommendation.
Personally, I don't like the idea of replacing core plugins like this. As some devs do not co-operate - and users loose out on other useful plugins.

Thanks for the link,but i think the last option that remains is to move to another platform,cause i am not going to waste my money for a basic forum,or simply replace the standard forum with phpbb or mybb.
Edit : Forum Pro was created by Aron,90% of the oxwall community who bought plugins from Aron are regreting it,because he is not offering any support and makes his plugins work only with his other plugins.

Mad Scientist, thank you for your feedback and suggestion. Unfortunately, I can't tell you for sure when exactly this feature will be add to the forum plugin but we will working on improving it.
Nonetheless, you can affect our developer and product designer teams about implementation of new functionality by using Our suggest board. It is one of the ways for us to learn what essential features the community needs.
So, I've made searching at uservoice and I've got one topic with this suggestion. You can vote to get this feature priority higher: http://oxwall.uservoice.com/...-organization-and-po
