Just thought I could do it like this:

Code:

$(document).ready(function(){

	$(".forum").hover(
		function(){
			$(this).find("a").css("color", "fea228");
		},
		function(){
			$(this).find("a").css("color", "fe8300");
		}
	);

	$(".forum").click(function(){
	  	window.location=$(this).find("a").attr("href"); return false;
	});
			
});

Which a)is ugly, b)is repetitive and c)most importantly, doesn't work
