[Nick(NR)]

You will need to change the portals in the code below to what you want and they can be found here Portal Choices

You will need to change the portals in the code below to what you want .

To Make the portals appear on the left hand side of the index page you'll need to ADD this piece of code into your overall_header.tpl file AT THE BOTTOM

[admin (no pm's please)]

Thanks Nick, concice and to the point. I will add one warning. What Nick suggests is generally true and will work on most styles/templates. But no two templates have the exaxt same html structure and so there will be exceptions.

Use the editor user to test the changes before making them the default for a forum.

Also, make sure you add the code, do not replace the existing code.

Replacing the code will stuff up your forum.

look at this

The Main Menu

The bit below in bold will need to go into your owners panel
[MAINMENU]
title=Forum Info
item1=Myfreeforum
link1=http://www.myfreeforum.org
item2=Myfastforum
link2=http://www.myfastforum.org

Title - lets you change the default name to what you want
item - is the name for each link
link - well that is an obvious one

Placed in a forum template, you might have:
Code:
{MYFF.MAINMENU}


Yes MAINMENU and LINKSMENU work the same, but they do work seperately

{MYFF.MAINMENU} <<<<< Where in forum template do you put this,

learn some more before editing the template. Least be able to know what every HTML code in the template means. Seems hard but im sure with in a few days you can do this easy. try my fav site http://davesite.com or google for other HTML learning sites.
