How do you change the name of the subforum to subforum because right now it says child boards:

Night09

Go into Themes>Default>languages>index.english.php and search for a line saying:

$txt['parent_boards'] = 'Child Boards';

Change it to:

$txt['parent_boards'] = 'Subforum';

Put what you prefer in.

although -- tehcnically - it is not a subforum...

forum = the whole site (SMF)
category = the grouping of boards
board = the grouping of message threads (child/grandchild/etc board would be a board within another board)
thread = the grouping of posts
post = the content in a single message by a user

Sub-forum - technically - would be a separate forum under the same installation (hence the "subforum" mod).

Some people think of boards and fora the opposite way. Depends on your interpretation.

Doesn't help that naming isn't consistent across platforms.

This is the way I have seen it for the last 10 or so years.

although for 2.1 we need to update that page as child boards no longer exist by that name in 2.1.

I know this is marked solved but on the off chance you have notifications for this topic on and you want to do a little more than just rename the child board, you could use this:
