[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 558828, member: 18896"] If you want to add it to the existing dynamic 'Genres' filter, then you have to manually edit the Movie Details on every movie and add |Martial Arts| to the 'genre' field on all the movies you want to add. Since that is a lot of work, the other way would be to convert the dynamic 'Genres' filter to a static one, and then add your own sub genre to that branch that covers your martial arts movies. But then every movie you add that happens to have a new Genre, will not have a dynamic genre created auto, so you are stuck having to add new genre filters then. The solution I use is to add a new main menu item "Custom Genres" (I put mine under "Custom Collections"), in which you put the filters you make yourself, in your case one for the 'martial arts'. Then the dynamic genre system will remain functional and you can add as many custom filters to that custom menu as you want. For example this is where I put my "James Bond" and other sets as well. PS: As for your category image to show, just make sure the filename on the category image you add is in the same folder as all the others, and has the exact same name as what is shown inside Moving Pictures. So "Martial Arts.png" for "Martial Arts". [/QUOTE]
