That made all of the columns the same color. :( Also, wouldn't the conditional go into the table row tag rather than the table data tag like in this example:
<tr align="center" <if condition="$forum['displayorder'] % 2 == 0">class="alt2"<else />class="alt1"</if>>
<td ><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /></td>
<td align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]">
<div>
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>
<if condition="$show['browsers']"><span class="smallfont">(<phrase 1="$forum[browsers]">$vbphrase[x_viewing]</phrase>)</span></if>
</div>
<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
<if condition="$show['forumsubscription']"><div class="smallfont"><strong><a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removesubscription&f=$forum[forumid]">$vbphrase[unsubscribe_from_this_forum]</a></strong></div></if>
<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
</td>
<td nowrap="nowrap">$forum[lastpostinfo]</td>
<td >$forum[threadcount]</td>
<td >$forum[replycount]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td ><div class="smallfont">$forum[moderators] </div></td>
</if>
</tr>
$childforumbits
Unfortunately, that doesn't work either. :(
