Hi everyone, thank you very much for helping solve the mystery of the
disappearing category box, sounds like Agatha Christie, LOL. I just found
the answer, it's indeed caused by a difference in version.
Version 1.13 is:
<?php if($this->data['catlinks']) { $this->html('catlinks'); } ?>
while the earlier versions are:
<?php if($this->data['catlinks']) { ?><div id="catlinks"><?php
$this->html('catlinks') ?></div><?php } ?>
