I have been wanting to redraw my forums for quite some time now, but I cannot seem to do it in VIEWS.

 

I want them laid out in a table or grid format, with user friendly links to them by their category picture.

 

The picture shows how I would like it to look, in a nutshell.

 

 

The problem is that I dont know how to get tsarted on this design.  I can't seem to aggregate the pictures using views, so views seems to be out.  


Any help any time would be great.  Thanks, gang!

I don't think you can do what

I don't think you can do what you want in views. This is because categories and forums are stored as taxonomy with special data not available to views.

I think the way to do it is with advanced forums template files. I don't have the list in front of me but the process is similar to when you added images to the categories. Instead of the tables currently there you would just change it to the kind you want.
