Thanks Symon. I just found where the files are located. I need to do some more research on Portals first. I just needed to know where it was before I go hog wild. Thank you for such a quick reply. _________________ http://sims2creations.myfastforum.org/

Yes that is what the code is meant to do.

To edit homepage you need to edit cms_index.tpl

As you can see i have spilt your last question from this thread to one of its own .

Please when asking new questions always start a new thread it is no a good idea to post at the end of a 4 page thread as things can and will be missed

Okay well -- I did this and the portal is on the homepage AND the forum. I just want it in the forum and not the home page. Where do I put the code?

seeing examples of it will help me or someone else spot where to look, thus giving us a clearer idea of how to help.
