Anthony, he can't use that, it's for IBP and concussion do you mean a portal?

The new president of Cuba is Raul Castro.I wonder how he got that job.

If you mean a portal,

Admin CP > fPortal > Enable fPortal > Submit.

Question Re: How do I create a homepage???

Hi,

On a similar note:

I want to create a link back to my website from my Forumer Forum.
Say my website is www.xyz.com and they click on the Forum link - how can they go back to my main website without using BACK Button on the browser.

A sort of link on the banner or Title to take users back to the main .com website.

Any ideas. - I am using the subPortal Skin and managed to put the logo.

http://freedomrider.forumer.com/ is the forum.

Thanks - I have been using the subPortal since long time so know the 2 links on the index page can't be configured.

This would be the only fix I guess.

I have allowed HTML at General Admin >> Configuration

but still the <a href> tag does not get saved in the description.

What could be causing this ?

OK here is how it looks : http://freedomrider.forumer.com/

When I put the <a href> tag in the SITE NAME part of General Admin >> Configuration - a link is created not just on the Heading / TITLE but 2 other places which messes the look and feel of the site.

So I guess only description can have it for now.


Anywhere else I can put the home website Link ???

You can put it in the forum description as well.
