You could create 2 \"normal\" blocks that list the topics you want there (and disable the built-in Topics block). If you want something more automatic, it shouldn\'t be too hard to clone COM_showTopics in lib-common.php and create 2 PHP blocks from it ... bye, Dirk

hehe, it DID work, i guess my \"colorful\" figure-of-speech was confusing with a normal block and plain html links to the topics, it works fine, only the number of stories doesnt show, oh well thanks again for the help
