Thank you.

 

dont no how you just do it so quickly and perfect so dam good work.

[redarrow]

ober thanks mate but, because off the current array needs to be looped 4 times to get the row's correctly looking,

 

The user is restricted to 16 forums only in the admin page at the moment.

 

is there a way to get the number of rows endless.

 

Let say the user had 35 forums added to the database , I want the table to show them rows as meny as he adds to the database.

 

but i want it in the order as you see now.

 

how can i do that will i need to use a switch or is there another way.

 

[redarrow]

Ok ill use a switch, Thanks ober good work nice example cheers.

 

didn't even no that would work thank you.

 

learn some think everyday.
