hello Michael, you can use something like that:

$firstgrouparray = array(2, 3, 4);
$secondgrouparray = array(5 ,9);
if (in_array($thread['forumid'], $firstgrouparray)) {
  eval("\$firstgroupbits .= \"".gettemplate('forumhome_threadbits')."\";");
} elseif (in_array($thread['forumid'], $secondgrouparray)) {
  eval("\$secondgroupbits .= \"".gettemplate('forumhome_threadbits')."\";");
} elseif (!in_array($thread['forumid'], $firstgrouparray) and !in_array($thread['forumid'], $secondgrouparray)) {
  eval("\$threadbits .= \"".gettemplate('forumhome_threadbits')."\";");
} else {
  $firstgroupbits ='';
  $secondgroupbits = '';
  $threadbits = '';
}

play with it the way you like.
