Pimp my RN Collapsing Forum Block

Whats up

Is it possible (anything is possible for...)
to have my collapsing forum block organized in a way where it is separated by categories within the block? I have three different categories: English, Spanish and Italian forums, and it would be nice to have them organized in that manner when displaying on front page.
Also, any way to have the thread title in bold or the name of the forum? a lot of users tell me it's a little confusing when they see it, and often click on the forum name, instead of the thread where they want to go. Any of you using a cool way to distinguish between the two? Would be nice also to increase the font on it, but I think the template css takes over right? like I said pimp my collapsing forum block Laughing

What do you mean by organized by categories? I know what you mean, but not really. What are you looking for visually?

As for making the font bigger or bold that would be easy. You only have to change it in one place. Find the appropriate text and use

Code:

style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 125%"

Thanks Palbin
It's great getting baby fed, but also Embarassed

That did nice job with changing the php to the following

Code:

if (!$hideLinksFromGuests || is_admin($admin) || is_user($user)) {
      $content .= '<tr' . $class .'><td bgcolor="' . $bgcolor1 . '" class="row1"><div style="text-align: left;">   <span style="text-

decoration: none; font-style: italic"><a href="forums.html&file=viewforum&f=' . $forum_id . '" title="' . $forum_name . '">'</span><span style="text-

decoration: none; font-weight: bold; font-size: 125%">
            . '[' . $cat_title . ': ' . $forum_name . ']</a><br />'
            . '   <a href="forums.html&file=viewtopic&t=' . $topic_id . '" title="' . $topic_title . '"> '

. $lockTopic . $topic_title . '</a></span></div>'

Regarding the categories. Say for example you had three forum categories. Category A, B, and C. It would be nice if the block would separate the threads by title of the category
Title A
forum_name
topic_title

Title B
forum_name
topic_title

Title C
forum_name
topic_title

of course depending on how many topics you wish to show, then you could have several topics under each forum category title. Hope that explains it ok Question

best and let me know if you pimp your forum block. I like to customize it much more but too little time lately. Here is just the bigger text.
