Level 3 top navbar/Layered Navigation Issue - Magento setting or theme limitation?

[Dcl2049]

I know Bootstrap is moving away from long nested navbars with lots of dropdowns, but I wanted to check and see your thoughts on this.

I renovated a theme with a nested top menu containing level 1, level 2, and level 3 links - in essence 3 layers. It appears this theme will only let me do 2, which is fine. But I think it could be improved.

Without changing my category navigation from the old theme, I noticed that the last level of the navigation was unavailable, but also that the one right before it appears as a dropdown with down carat and clicking it does nothing. It is linked to the correct page, but clicking the link tries to expand the menu rather than navigate to the category link.

I solved this by removing all the sub-sub categories from the navigation menu in the category editor in admin, but this created another problem. I'm fine removing the sub-subs as long as they show up in the category view layered navigation over to the side, but removing them from the top menu this way also removes them from the layered navigation.

This problem would be fixed in my eyes if the level 2 dropdowns for sub-sub categories could simply be converted to links instead of non-functional dropdowns. Like I said, I don't know if there is a better way around this in the Magento settings for categories.

Sorry this problem description was a little hard to read, I hope it's at least halfway clear. And thank you so much for this outstanding theme - it allowed me to go from non-responsive to responsive in one week flat.
