You say I need another set of boxes to put details in, but the boxes are already there in my control panel under the sub forum. It's just when I plug in info, it isn't displayed. What do you say? Help out a friend.

OK I've quicky done it, you do need another box if you are displaying a different banner, like I said I've quickly done this and I've also had a couple of beers but I think it works

// Adds fields to forum table.

Run Query:
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `fhbanner2` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL AFTER `description` ;
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `fhbannerlink2` VARCHAR( 250 ) NOT NULL AFTER `fhbanner2` ;
ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `fhmessage2` VARCHAR( 50 ) NOT NULL AFTER `fhbannerlink2` ;

print_input_row($vbphrase['fhbannerlink2'], 'forum[fhbannerlink2]', $forum['fhbannerlink2']);
print_input_row($vbphrase['fhmessage2'], 'forum[fhmessage2]', $forum['fhmessage2']);
