categories disappear, help!

Anyone know how to fix this? When you go to a category that has subcategories you see:

Top : School Safety :

** sub cats here **

Links:

** links here **

BUT, if you go to a category that does not have sub cats all you get is:

Links:

** links here **

This is a problem because it ruins the navigation and does not identify the category the user is in. You can see it in action here:

Good - http://www.keepschoolssafe.org/pages/School_Safety/

Bad - http://www.keepschoolssafe.org/...afety/Organizations/

Thanks for any help you can give!

Thats because you probably have;

Code:
<%if category%> 
    .... 
   <%category%> 
   .... 
<%endif%>

Thanks Andy, but I'm not a programmer, what does that mean? If I take those lines out will it fix the problem?

Well, what do you have for your category.html template? Upload it (from /admin/templates), so we can see what you currently have, and help you change it.

You must have fixed it, your site looks fine to me! The category is listed in the breadcrumb nav, so I know which cat I'm in. If you still don't like it, be more specific about what you wnat to change.
