Thanks kbeeveer46, That fixed it in digitalnature, I am using someone's DIGG template and the categories are in the header. Not bad for me since I will only have a few categories. If you have time this is my header.tpl with categories in it. I dont know what to edit or paste from the tpl file you had me load into my sidebar_modules folder. If you have time and can help what do I need to edit in this TPL file in order to fix the category bug:
