Unfortunately, Nabble cannot replicate the format of the Muscle Bike forum.

As you have discovered, its "Mixed" format will divide the forum into a number of sections showing the Subjects of the topics and Titles of Sub-forums, within each sub-forum.

Its "Category" format will show a set of sub-forums with their descriptions, in a similar fashion to the Muscle Bike forum, but you cannot combine those two features such that you get the segmented format of the "Mixed" format with the sub-forum descriptions of any sub-forums.

If you look at one of my forums at:
http://www.seahawk17.org.uk/forum.php
you find a "Mixed" format forum, that includes a "My Boat" sub-forum, this is in "Category" format, but you don't see the sub-forum descriptions until you enter that sub-forum.

If the presentation of the sub-forum descriptions is more important to you than the segmented format of the "Mixed" format, then you have no choice but to select "Category" (or possibly "Board") as your top level format and forego the segmentation that "Mixed" provides.

Hope that helps!
