Thanks very much @Steve F however I can't get it to display exactly as your screen shot. I added the extra.less and moved the code block down to line 125 as you instructed but I get:
1.webp 2.webp
 
Are you sure you edited the correct style for the node_list_forum template? That looks like it is still in the node-body element.
 
Here is my complete node_list_forum template. As instructed I cut the code our from the template and added it back in above the closing if and div:
Code: 
<xf:macro name="depth1" arg-node="!" arg-extras="!" arg-children="!" arg-childExtras="!" arg-depth="1">
    <div class="block">
        <div class="block-container">
            <div class="block-body">
                <xf:macro name="forum"
                    arg-node="{$node}"
                    arg-extras="{$extras}"
                    arg-children="{$children}"
                    arg-childExtras="{$childExtras}"
                    arg-depth="{$depth}" />

I see what the issue is now, those nodes are categories so we'll need to add an edit for that, give me moment.
 
Steve F updated Sub-Forums Grid with a new update entry:

Add support for node categories

Template: node_list_category

Find:
Code: 
    </div>
</xf:macro>

<xf:macro name="depthN" arg-node="!" arg-extras="!" arg-children="!" arg-childExtras="!" arg-depth="1">



Add above:
Code: 
        <xf:if is="$depth == 2 AND property('nodeListSubDisplay') == 'flat'">
            <xf:macro template="forum_list" name="sub_nodes_flat"
                      arg-children="{$children}"
                      arg-childExtras="{$childExtras}"
                      arg-depth="{{ $depth + 1 }}"...

Steve, unfortunately that just doubles up the sub forums. I even removed the extra edits in the node_list_forum template to check if that was conflicting but there wasn't any impact:
1.webp

You can see it live on my site in my sig
 
I just installed Xenforo V.2.1.1 went to Appearance -> Template modification -> node_list_forum to follow the steps in the OP.

Now I get this one: Only a limited number of fields in this item may be edited.

Any idea how to edit this thing?
 
@Steve F Thanks for this nice enhancement!
This doesn't seem to be compatible with XF2.2 as node_list_category template is different.

Is there a way to only affect forum subnodes and not subnodes in other content types? Currently its also affecting subnodes in @pegasus Vaultwiki, As Vaultwiki has a sidebar it gets requires a different number of columns in the grid.
