[bigmastif]

hi set up my forum today http://scottishvanners.50.forumer.com/index.php and wonderd how i can edit the forums layout so it isnt one big block ?
ive had a look at it and im struggling to work out how to split it into individual sections
no doubt im having a noob moment

thanks

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, could you explain in more detail or post a screen shot please, guess I am having a blond moment

[bigmastif]

this is the screen shot of the forum,
what i want to do is have idividual sections instead of the one big section saying forum
would like to make individual sections like

site info, then have the welcome section , then the forum information sections. then have a vehicle section with bits like photo of your van, and vehicle technical, bit liek chapters in a book.

sorry if i have confused you more lol

See my test forum. Is this what you mean?

You will make some more categories and assign them as "parents" to some of the forums then it will be split into more sections....

[bigmastif]

exactly what i was looking for thanks wild cat so does that mean i will have to
delete the sections i already have then redo them looseing the posts already made ?

thanks

[Wild Cat]

No, you just click "edit" by the forum you want to move to another category and then assign it a different "parent"

ACP -> Forums -> Manage Forums -> first create your Category -> New Forum - Forum type: Category, Parent forum: No parent -> set your options and Submit, then set the permissions so it would be visible to whom you want...

When you done that, go back to "Manage Forums", Click on the "Edit" image next to the forum you want to move to your newly created category change the "Parent Forum" and click on "Submit" and it will move.

thanks again wild cat, how do i create new catergories ?

thanks

[Wild Cat]

Please read my above post again carefully, I have described it...

instead of selecting it as a forum, select it as a category, and no parent.
