The welcome panel should be there when you have installed this hack, check to see if you have <!-- welcome panel --> in your home template, if not you don't have the v2 templates.

Thanks for all the time you spent on this, I think you did a fantastic job. I do have one question: "Is there a simple way to make every link on the vbindex.php page open a new window when clicked on, without adding "target="_blank" to every link"? If this can be done easily, would it be possible to have the new window open at a set size, perhaps 700 x 600?

Thanks,

Just add:
at the end of your home_headinclude template, then all links will open in a new window unless a specific target is specified in the href.

You need to use some sort of javacript for setting the size of the browser, although i would advise against this and let users decide the size of there browser.

i think i will need those templates if you can. i upgraded but it didnt upgrade my templates i already had.

thanks

That worked just fine :)

If you don't have any home templates you wish to delete you can run the vbiv1upgrade_install.php if you haven't made the DB change, if you have then you can run vbitemplates_install.php.

If you wish to do it manually then I have attached the zip here, note you need to change vbidemo to home in the names of them.

Question... I use vbindex just to include the poll on my mainpage, I don't need the rest of the features. And I would like to make the poll question a link to the thread it was posted in but I can't seem to figure out how. Any ideas?

Firstly this is a very bad idea as it will add 15-20 queries to you page that are compleatly useless.

In answer to you question you need to your question you need to change:
