I've seen on some other non-snitz portals a simple list of forums with the number of topics in each displayed like:

Have Your Say (3)
General (24)
After Hours (14)
Help (58)

etc etc.

I'd like to do something similar using the opentable and closetable code on David's Portal Mod. I'm looking for the code that will list the Forum names and count the no. of Topics in each. Can anyone point me in the right direction please.

OK I've made a start .. obviously my code is pretty awful but I know it is kinda in the right direction:
sub ListForums(byval Width)

Dim TopicCount, rsForum, Forum_Subject
	
'## Forum_SQL
strSql = "SELECT "F.F_SUBJECT, " & _
	 "C.CAT_ID, " & _
	 "COUNT( & strTablePrefix & "TOPICS T,), " & _
	 "FROM " & strTablePrefix & "FORUM F, " & _
	 strTablePrefix & "CATEGORY C, " & _
	 "WHERE C.CAT_ID=2"
	 strSql = strSql & "AND F.FORUM_ID = T.FORUM_ID " & _
	 "AND C.CAT_ID = T.CAT_ID "    
	 strSql = strSql & ") "
	strSql = strSql & " ORDER BY C.CAT_ORDER, C.CAT_NAME, F.F_ORDER " 
	
	tF_SUBJECT = 0
        tCAT_ID = 1
        
        rec = 1
	for iTopic = 0 to iTopicCount
	Forum_Subject = arrTopicData(tF_SUBJECT,iTopic)
	Cat_ID = arrTopicData(tCAT_ID,iTopic)
	
	set rsForum = my_Conn.Execute(strSql)
	Forum_Subject = rsForum.Fields("F_SUBJECT").Value
	TopicCount = rsForum.Fields(COUNT(TOPICS))
	 
		
	call StartTable("100%", "Forum List")
	 
	 do while NOT rsForum.EOF
         Response.Write   "			"& rsForum.Fields("Forum_Subject").Value & "(" & Topic_Count & ")" & "<br />" & vbNewLine

         	rsContList.MoveNext
	loop
	
	set rsForum = nothing

	call EndTable()
end sub


Any pointers (except take up macrame instead ?

A quick cleanup, if I may be so bold 
sub ListForums(byval Width)
	dim TopicCount,rsForum,Forum_Subject
	strSql="SELECT F_SUBJECT,F_TOPICS FROM "&strTablePrefix&"FORUM WHERE CAT_ID=2 ORDER BY F_ORDER ASC,F_SUBJECT ASC"
	set rsForum=my_Conn.execute(strSql)
	if not rsForum.eof then
		call StartTable("100%","Forum List")
		do until rsForum.eof
			Forum_Subject=chkString(rsForum.fields(0).value,"display")
			TopicCount=clng(rsForum.fields(1).value)
			response.write	"			"&Forum_Subject&" ("&Topic_Count&")<br />"&vbNewLine
			rsForum.movenext
		loop
		call EndTable()
	end if
	rsForum.close
	set rsForum=nothing
end sub
Do you want to link people to the forums listed or is is just a list ing?

Sorry, forgot to remove a stray underscore you had in your code: In the response,write line, delete the _ between Topic and Count.
