IPB has a wonderful feature built in called IPB dynamic light. This allows your forum to appear as portal with news on the front page.

To activate go to:

System Settings
IPDynamic Lite Set-up
Switch “ENABLE IPB Dynamic Lite?” from no to yes.
Save


No go to:
http://www.myfreebulletinboard.com/f/home....orum=accessname

Replace the "accessname" with yours.

Now you can play with the settings to get the appearance you would like.

If I understand you correctly setting "Max. no of characters to show per article" in "IPDynamic Lite Set-up" will limit the size of the articles but there is no scroll function.

The easiest way is to click on the forum and then look at the url in the address bar for "showforum=2". In this case the forum id is 2.

Is there any way to fill in all that blank space to the right of the information? Putting in news, a welcome, or other info? I like the portal but I would like to somehow fill in the empty space.

The only thing you can do is add a bunch of links if you activate that box.

I really do not understand any of this but will give it a try--I just hope it doesn't do anything wacky to my board like cause it to go black or lock me out of the ability to change it back. It's getting close to Halloween, so I am scared. Shocked Confused
