jacko_162 Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 i have limit set to 8 at moment cause it lists the ID desending and cause it goes from top to bottom in a list, if i can arrange it in rows then i can display more. im new to php so forgive me if i dont fully understand yet.. this image shows what i need it to do; i have them listed on the right already, but i need them like they are in the middle of the image...
