if you want to seperate each forum, then that will be a bit of fiddling, so you may have to post the template name and I'll have a check tommoz, as I may not get back on tonight.
Louise

Thanks, They style is Called Black & White.

Even The Header is giving me Grief, It won't let me add a Welcome Message anywhere.
Louise

I just noticed on reading this again that you had given me the Link to Howto . . .  But as My Code shows, I have already made the edits, I just cann't understand why I am not seeing the desired Effects.
admin (no pm's please)

Are you sure you are seeing the right template? I'd put in something to test that if I was you.
Symon

Hello Louise

I have just tested this on the black and white template,,

http://testhtml.myfastforum.org

And it seems to be working.

Try this on a spare template

index_body.tpl

find

Code:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="forumline">
  <tr>
   <th colspan="2" class="thCornerL" height="25" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;{L_FORUM}&nbsp;</th>
   <th width="50" class="thTop" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;{L_TOPICS}&nbsp;</th>
   <th width="50" class="thTop" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;{L_POSTS}&nbsp;</th>
   <th class="thCornerR" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;{L_LASTPOST}&nbsp;</th>
  </tr>
  <!-- BEGIN catrow -->
  <tr>
   <td class="catLeft" colspan="2" height="28"><span class="cattitle"><a href="{catrow.U_VIEWCAT}" class="cattitle">{catrow.CAT_DESC}</a></span></td>
   <td class="rowpic" colspan="3" align="right">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <!-- BEGIN forumrow -->
  <tr>
   <td class="row1" align="center" valign="middle" height="50"><img src="{catrow.forumrow.FORUM_FOLDER_IMG}" width="46" height="25" alt="{catrow.forumrow.L_FORUM_FOLDER_ALT}" title="{catrow.forumrow.L_FORUM_FOLDER_ALT}" /></td>
   <td class="row1" width="100%" height="50"><span class="forumlink"> <a href="{catrow.forumrow.U_VIEWFORUM}" class="forumlink">{catrow.forumrow.FORUM_NAME}</a><br />
     </span> <span class="genmed">{catrow.forumrow.FORUM_DESC}<br />
     </span><span class="gensmall">{catrow.forumrow.L_MODERATOR} {catrow.forumrow.MODERATORS}</span></td>
   <td class="row2" align="center" valign="middle" height="50"><span class="gensmall">{catrow.forumrow.TOPICS}</span></td>
   <td class="row2" align="center" valign="middle" height="50"><span class="gensmall">{catrow.forumrow.POSTS}</span></td>
   <td class="row2" align="center" valign="middle" height="50" nowrap="nowrap"> <span class="gensmall">{catrow.forumrow.LAST_POST}</span></td>
  </tr>
  <!-- END forumrow -->
  <!-- END catrow -->
</table>



Replace with

Code:

   <th width="50" class="thTop" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;{L_POSTS}&nbsp;</th>
   <th class="thCornerR" nowrap="nowrap">&nbsp;{L_LASTPOST}&nbsp;</th>
  </tr>
  
  <tr>
   <td class="catLeft" colspan="2" height="28"><span class="cattitle"><a href="{catrow.U_VIEWCAT}" class="cattitle">{catrow.CAT_DESC}</a></span></td>
   <td class="rowpic" colspan="3" align="right">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr><br />
  <!-- BEGIN forumrow -->
  <tr>
   <td class="row1" align="center" valign="middle" height="50"><img src="{catrow.forumrow.FORUM_FOLDER_IMG}" width="46" height="25" alt="{catrow.forumrow.L_FORUM_FOLDER_ALT}" title="{catrow.forumrow.L_FORUM_FOLDER_ALT}" /></td>
   <td class="row1" width="100%" height="50"><span class="forumlink"> <a href="{catrow.forumrow.U_VIEWFORUM}" class="forumlink">{catrow.forumrow.FORUM_NAME}</a><br />

I did say if you wanted individual forums to post template name and I'd check, that should've hinted you had no categories Wink
Louise
