The forum will act as a part of an existing website. As I mentioned earlier I had SMF but got hacked into it, new members would get a porno redirect instead of in their mailbox as their confirmation to their successful registration with us, and basically I had no option but to spend 1 hour a day approving/disapproving new members.

My website has nothing to do with adult stuff. It's tourism and stuff we're doing. So it was a little bit of shock fininding out that members who had just registered were emailed a porno confirmation/link as opposed to a "real" confirmation from us. How the hackers managed I am not sure, but I did catch some of them at 3am trying to ask for help with xumer or something on our forum. And apparently that it was caused the flood of what seemed like automatic advertising and spam sent to our forum from all over the world.

But anyway, thanks to the wonderful tips from all of you guys. I managed to get the categories up and add forums.

The only thing that I will need to do now is learn how to "unlink" the title in the category as for some reason all titles are "clickable" something I don't want. And I need one of these "jump" to the next forum features most forums have at the bottom right og the page.

Anyone here with additional tips for me?

Thank you so much.

And yes, I am starting, albeit slowly, to like vBulletin!
