What I'm trying to do is put my forums names and their links into one of my dropdown menus. (Custom ones I wrote in java, not the vbMenu ones) You can check it out at
www.quad4forums.com and choose the Test Theme.
I've followed along everything you've said so far, but getting into the deeper dimensions of this multi-dimensional array (forumcache) is getting the better of me.
I'm going to google some more. If you feel like explaining how to pull the forum names from the forumcache and put them into a <pre> list, you'll be teaching a man how to fish.
