Showing subcategories in the category pages

I cannot for the life of me figure out what is going wrong here. I can't get subcategories to show up at all in Zen-Cart's main pages / category pages. You can see here: http://www.music-skins.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=7

I have gone into Admin > Layout Settings and changed:

Categories - Always Open to Show SubCategories - 1

What else could I possibly be missing here?? Any help is appreciated. This seems so simple but I've been stumped for hours...

Re: Showing subcategories in the category pages

If you switch to the Classic Template does the navigation work on the categories?

Re: Showing subcategories in the category pages

No such luck. Same issue. It shows up in the Categories box navigation but won't display in the main area.

Here's a screenshot: http://music-skins.com/zen-screen.jpg

Any ideas? Should I just try to re-install or something?

Re: Showing subcategories in the category pages

BRILLIANT! I know it's going to seem like I didn't look hard... I could have sworn I had gone over everything. I thought that Product Listing was for the individual product page only. Thanks very much for your help. I've been pretty impressed thus far with Zen-Cart's abilities.

Re: Showing subcategories in the category pages

I remember that confused me at first - the difference between product listing and product info is not obvious until you see them both. There are a lot of terminology quirks like that in admin that I hope are rethought when the admin is rewritten in v1.6.
