Here's a pic below... Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. :)

basically you do a query that grabs the forum titles with the most number of replies onto them and put a limit of 10 on them...
that should do it.

where you want to display this? in forumhome?

here, i trew this in 30secs.. is something like that, for forumhome:
//top10 forums
$topforums=$DB_site->query('SELECT * FROM forum WHERE displayorder<>0 AND active=1 AND cancontainthreads=1 ORDER BY replycount LIMIT 10');
while ($topforum=$DB_site->fetch_array($topforums)) {
$topforumbits .= '<a href="forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=' . $topforum['forumid'] . '">' . $topforum['title'] . '</a><br>';
}
$DB_site->free_result($topforums);
unset($topforum);stick your $topforumbits anywhere you want in forumhome template...
keep in mind: that adds 1 extra query to your total!!!
if you can live with that, is ok... i could not...

* TECK faints...
