See, this is what I'm missing.

Can you help me out here?

Which mod do I need? I am able to set up the categories as links, and I've tried that- but there is no page that I can lead it to with those settings that will show it...

I'll make some screenshots and put them up soon, to explain better.

Here' how I want it to look like on the main forum page (I think I made it 1-2-1, I don't remember):


Then, when you click on the category, I want you to be led to this page, but without any 'thread' section shown- see below:


The only way to get the above to happen is by setting the forum to ACT AS A FORUM- which means it won't look like a category:


(I want it to look like a category, not a forum, and link to a page with the child forums listed, without any thread area. Just the forums listed)

When I did it above, I locked the ability to post threads, but it didn't matter- it just stops 'new posts' and doesn't erase the whole thread section. In any event, it doesn't matter, because that's when it's acting as a forum, not a category.

Here's what happens when I set it to 2-2-1, and act as a category:


Firstly, it shows the child forums on the home page- which is not what I want, as described above.

Secondly, look in the address bar: see the #editor? Thats what you get when you click on the category- it acts as an 'anchor'.
That happens even in 1-2-1 or 1-3-1 or 1-2-2 or 2-2-2 or any setting you can think of.

So when I have it look like the first screenshot posted, it still acts as an anchor and won't link to a page which shows it.

So I made it act as a forum, and took that link and then made it act as a category again, uses 1-2-1 (for first screenshot) and then had it act as a link to that page... but, it will still act as an anchor, because if you do that then the page doesn't exist (the forumdisplay.php?f=49)


Can you please help me out? What mod/hack do I need? Is it simple?

Does the vb 4.0 have this type of capability easily accessible- and if it does, will I still be able to use this skin and create that effect (I believe the skin is meant for 3.8.5) ?

Any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated... I wish I knew CSS better but I'm still a noob there, you guys are the experts... thanks!
