i'm pretty sure the title says it all, but i'm also unsure if that is actually what i'm asking for. i have seen it done on plenty of sites in the past two-ish years or so, and while i have figured out a way to do it, i'm not sure my method is the most stable way of doing it.

the general idea is that one category has multiple forums, such as a locations category for a rp site. only one forum displays because a tab is automatically checked and by clicking the other tabs, you can cycle through different forums, all in the same category. (such as going from the north end of a city's forum to the south end of the city.) like i said i've figured out a way of doing this, i use css tabs for it and i'm not exactly keen on using scripts in order to generate tabs as i prefer the comfort of css tabs over anything else.

i just don't think the way i do it is the most safe way of doing it, you know? so i'm finally beating my pride back and asking for help, to try and find someone who may know a way of doing it.

if i can't achieve this via css tabs, i am totally open to learning other ways btw!
