yeah i see the point (i think

)
change the line
PHP Code:
eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_colbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";");
to this:
PHP Code:
if(strstr(" ".$columnparent." ", " ".$forum['forumid']." ")) {
eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_colbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";");
} else {
eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";");
}
hope i have understood right what you wanted to do
