Need a little assistance

[bhxtyrant]

Hey guys,

I am having a bit of a problem which i hope someone can help me with.I created a main catagory with multiple sub catagories.Now everything works fine but i want the "newpost/no newpost" icon to show up beside it like it would on any other forum without sub catagories.See the below screenshot.



Now the only way i have managed to solve this is by using the "Act as Forum" option but this is not acceptable because it allows members to post in the parent catagory instead of limiting them to the sub catagories inside it.

I am pretty sure solving this will require modifying vB's code so if someone could tell me how to do this i'd appreciate it
