Is there a plan to change how subforums are listed on the home page?

Commas are old news. The Gaming Margin looks messy.
Show me your plan
I think just also showing the icons before the name might be a small improvement, though it could end up looking like a complete mess
How about just not showing them in home page, accessing them limited to within the subforum's sidebar. Should look tidy!
Also I would to add that users should be allowed to select a child forum to host their thread in during creation.
There are several directions you could go that would be better than the current look.
Spitball examples:
Have the links resemble the sub-forum labels already found under thread titles in parent forums.
Hide them/some but have a button to reveal/expand the list.
Have it so users that choose to hide a sub-forum in the new sidebar options also have the link hidden from the home page.

To elaborate on that, this is all the code I'm using to do that in Awfully White:
.subforum::before {
content: "• ";
}
body.page-forum .forumblock .forumname .forumsubforums .subforum::after {
content: "" !important; /*!important may not actually be necessary here*/
}
.subforum {
display: inline-block;
width: 170px;
}
Works really well on the main page, though it's also enabled on the main section pages making the selector sidebar go out of alignment with longer subforum names.

Is there a way around this?
I'm sure there's a way to fix it. I'll have to look into it later though. I wasn't expecting subforum listings to affect the subforum filters like that.
