Duplicate Unintended parent forum created when child is linked to a parent with no category

[LukeWolf]

Affected version

v2.1.10 Patch 2

1. Add a forum node without associating it as a child to any categories.
2. Create a child forum node attached to the forum node you just created.

Child forum will additionally appear like a parent forum underneath its parent forum instead of under the drop-down list.

This has been reported before.

It is expected and not something we're looking to change at this point:

Design issue - Forum node issue

If you have a Forum node as the parent, and one as the child, the child does not act as a sub-forum, it acts as a forum in the same list. It should follow the sub-forum display rules you choose but it does not, it acts as a forum with same size row size and descriptions, like parent forum nodes...

I have been trying to hide my subforums to step around this issue. If they looked as they do in that link there would be no need to hide them.

Chris can you give me some code to hide the subforums on the main page only?
