The thing is that I know about that sub forum hack, but that one that I saw on ECF wasn't the way I am looking for my forums to look. Let me try to explain once more...
When someone first views my index.php in the forums directory, they should be shown a list of categories... when they click the category, the way that I wanted the forums to show up once they have clicked that category is the way that forums/categories are currently set up now.
If you guys already knew that, let me know...
