John, yes you can specify categories which you want to show
navigate to your forumurl/script/admin/
login , (defaults are admin.admin)
Then navigate to cats and add or remove categories you want to be shown or disabled.
ALso if there is a category you want to see and not there in my default list, then go to amazon and get its ID and add it there.
See the examples in the script/admin and think you will figure out the rest.
As for design wise, its all in the form of tpl which you can edit using any editot such as frontpage and choose your own design of output for all sections , simply dont touch the %%variables%% or move them into a different table to output them inside of that table.
