Topic: Linking to categorys on a new page??

I want to know if I can link directly to the category's.. And only show the forums in each category on a separate page?

The way my site is set up is like this...

Playstation 3 = category name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name

Playstation 2 = category name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name

Xbox 360 = category name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name

Xbox 3 = category name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name
- Game Title = Forum Name

I want to put the forums of each category on a separate page instead of having this very very very LONG PAGE!!!

I do not want to use the collapse feature I want them on a new page!!

The short answer is not without modifying your board. Moved to modifications.

A simpler way to be able to display categories is outlined here:

http://wiki.punres.org/Show_category

It is more limited in features than the mod, but it only requires one line to be changed in index.php.
