Glad you got it working.

If you are wanting to remove the sub Category from the categoryBrowse.ascx
then take a look at removing the nested repeater from the control.

  <asp:Repeater ID="NestedSubCategoryRepeater" Runat="server" DataSourceID="NestedCategoryDS"
            OnItemCommand="NestedSubCategoryRepeater_ItemCommand">
            <HeaderTemplate><ul>
            </HeaderTemplate>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <li>
                <asp:LinkButton ID="SubCategoryButton" Runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Name") %>'
                    CommandArgument='<%# Eval("Id") %>' />
                (<%# Eval("NumActiveAds") %>)</li></ItemTemplate>
            <FooterTemplate></ul></FooterTemplate>
        </asp:Repeater>

Hope it helps

I got it working. Thanks a bunch for your help! By the way, do you know how to get rid of the subcategoriies from showing up. I know it has to do something with the deleting theNestedSubCategory. Can you help?

Can you post your CategoryBrowse.ascx here, so we can take a look and maybe offer more help.

Is this local copy or working on a hosted system?

I did exactly as described, but it didn't work for me. How come? What am I not doing?

Thanks Jermy. I had to remove it in two places. It works flawlessly.

Easy one for you....

How to turn off the ad count in the category. For example: Cars (3)

I want to get rid of the (3) and just show Cars as the category without the number of car ads.
