i know it is integrated but how are their announcements made? Because they arent made by pulling threads like most modules do

The way i did it was by, making a news forum and had the vBadvanced news modules pull the posts.

Does it look the same as www.edgegamers.org? cuz i have seen multiple sites with this type of announcement and i really like it but i cant find the module to save my life

How does that work? The news archive thing. I dont see any news threads that they use for their site. It seems like its a totally different news section.

Not really. I am going for something more along the lines of this
http://www.ipadforums.net/
and www.edgegamers.org

they both have the same announcement type of thing. If you go to their forums its not pulling any sort of thread atleast not from what i can see. I would really like to know how they are doing it. I feel like it is some announcement/news module. I like how you can reply to it but its not a thread... its more of its own thing. I dont really know how to explain it. I hope you can help me though

What do you mean by left and right side. I dont understand how they make the announcements look and work the way they do. Is there a way you could guide me through it if you know how or link me to a module that they are using if they are using them

Control panel > vBa CMPS > Edit Pages > Select the page > Scroll down to Active Modules
This is where you can add or remove modules or move them around

i keep trying on the vbadvanced forums and it doesnt allow me to post or go to the member area. I sent a ticket and all that and never got a response.
