Great, thanx!

Can't you add an option to display a picture for every category?

I could make it where it was the same pic, I am still not good enough to make each one different, if someone else would help me maybe we could make it where it had that you could change the pics and what not through the cp. Anyone willing to help?

Is there anyway you can make it like how they have it at 411hype?

Like this:

[Linked Image] Catagory Name Without having the icon linked to the catagory? So it just comes up every time you add a catagory next to the name and have a space between them?

Yes I just wanted the icon next to the catagory name. No description or anything just somthing like the control panel where you could just change the image or somthing like a wordlet and have the image next to the catagory.

goto the Cat Seetings and enter the file name of the image, for the same one for each cat enter the same file name or you can use different ones

you shouldn't have to if you hacked it right, try re-hacking it from a backup.
I did this in 6.04d so code might be a little different if you are using a different version.

Is there any chance that you could develope thi script? When some one enter a category the pic and description is shown? Like this:

http://www.data-doktorn.nu/pics/intro2.gif

Now it looks like this:
http://www.data-doktorn.nu/cgibin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?category=1
Now all the categories looks the same when you enter them! Notice that I changed the "logo text" that's displayed by UBB, I think that everyones got their own logos!
