I've searched through the forums here, and the consensus is that if I set 'Categories always show on main page' to 1, and 'main page - opens with category' to '0' then it would show my categories, with images, on the main page in the center section.

Is this not the case - it doesn't seem to work for me. I'm on 1.3.7.1 and using both classic and silverfish templates.

If i'm getting this wrong - can someone tell me how to do this? My site is simple - just 6 categories (no sub cats), and about 5 items per category.

Thanks,
