Fluid view
The fluid view replaces the standard per-forum listing with a single flat list of recent threads across every forum the visitor can see, rendered as cards. Each card shows the prefix, title, author, last-reply summary, and reaction count.
The fluid view is enabled with Enable fluid view at AdminCP > Setup > Options > [MC] Forum Layouts > Layouts. Disable it to remove the fluid toggle button from the layout switcher and prevent the route from rendering.
Sidebar filter
The fluid view ships with a sidebar filter listing every forum the visitor can see. Selected forums narrow the thread list to those nodes; the selection is stored in a cookie so it persists across visits.
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Sidebar maximum node depth | Limits the depth of the node tree shown in the sidebar. 0 shows every depth. |
| Hide empty forums in sidebar | Forums with no threads are omitted from the filter. |
Mobile filter
Below the responsive-wide breakpoint the sidebar collapses into a full-width trigger button. Tapping the trigger opens the same filter list inside a centred modal. Forum selections take effect immediately; tap Done to close.
Stickies
The fluid view honours the Sticky thread behavior and Featured stickies options. Featured stickies stay pinned at the top; other stickies follow the configured behaviour.
