Thanks Allan,
I am not very good with code yet, is this what i am meant to do?
Code:
<if condition="in_array($forum[1], array(x))">
<td class="tcat" style="background-image:url(images/gradients/forum1.gif)" border="0" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
</if>
<else />
<if condition="in_array($forum[2], array(x))">
<td class="tcat" style="background-image:url(images/gradients/forum2.gif)" border="0" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
</if>
<else />
