To set up the sub-categories under the main categories as shown on the web site in the first post is not all that difficult. My smarty knowledge is just not that good to get it without some sort of guidence. My post was in hopes of someone pointing me to a post that gives a similar example and how it was done. I know I am simplifying it but an if statement in the categories template with an include subcategories.tpl in a div class should work fairly easy. I am just a hack at this so I try to ask before I screw things up too much.
As far as your comments about BCSE I am not sure why the bash without first discussing it further or in detail with Carrie. She has always come through every time I have dealt with her.
