This will give me:

Cat Header

:laugh: Subforum :laugh: Subforum
:laugh: Subforum :laugh: Subforum
:laugh: Subforum :laugh: Subforum

With space between of course? His picture isn't very easy to look at.

dsboyce, you might want to create some shell-forums under the existing categories, then put the actual forums of that category as children of that new shell forum.

Before:
-- Category name
---- Forum 1
---- Forum 2

After:
--- Category name
------ Shell forum
--------- Forum 1
--------- Forum 2

Good idea, I'll give it a try.

Thanks for being so responsive.

EDIT:That worked, now I just have to figure out how to name them, since it'll be:

cat
--Shell
----Forum
----Forum

And the Cats are already named.

Any ideas on how to handle this?

i dont get it
so how do i do subforums?
i thought they are already sub forums under each main forum title?

Okay I created a non-posting forum under the first two cats and called it categories, didn't know you could have multiple forums with the same name.

So here's what I did to resolve categories instead of parent forums:

Under each top category I created a new forum with posting turned off, then moved the child forums under it.

Like so:

Existing Category (Top Level with act as forum off)
--New Forum (With posting off, but act as forum on)
----Moved Exiting Child Forums

Hope this helps if others have the same problem.

Dennis

so do i have to make the each main forum before the subforums, a subforum?

If your top level are Categories (Act as Forum is off) then you need to add a new Forum under that (I recommend turning off posting) and move the subs under the one you just created. Look at my site to see what I did.

Some are still the old way because I'm working on it now.

i see what you done but i dont get it still?

where do i move the subs into? they are already under the categories that act as no forum. do i have to set them to act as no forum too?

im so confused

You can try to change them to act as forums and make them closed. I tried that but it messed things up. I added a NEW forum under each of the ones that were acct as forum=NO and put the child forums in it.

Kind of adding a top forum, since you don't have a top one, you have a category.

so i have to re-add all the sub forums from scratch?
