Hi,

Ah! Got it now! Complete misunderstanding on my part!

That's mainly because I have never used the Gallery application beyond my test forum, and in that have removed the sidebar from my example. I find the application unsatisfactory and I haven't the NAML coding skills necessary to change it to the way I would like it to work.

My chief objection to it, in its standard form, is that there is no way to navigate from one post in a gallery to the next. You always have to return to the parent application and secondly - and this is related to your question -  if you do without the side bar there is no way to navigate to a "subcategory" without going via an image in that sub-category.

In short the Gallery application is designed to mix posts from various sub-forums and display them on a single screen - a little bit like "Topics View" in a "Forum" application, where everything is shown in date order with a column that links to the appropriate sub-forum.

To do what you want to do you have to use other applications - and then, of course, you lose the gallery style image previews. In fact, all the "sidebar applications", i.e. Gallery, Blog and Newspaper have this same feature - showing posts from all sub-forums/categories (and issue when you remove the sidebar.)
