Thanks NTLDR...

It sorted the problem out:)

I should read the entire post before posting this question, I'll be back :)

So then how do most people implement this vbindex.php file as the starting page of their website? Mine obviously has to point to index.html, but how do I get vbindex.php to load up in its place? What do most people do?

change your htaccess file.
i wrote about this several pages back.

I wasn't able to find out how to add the Shoutbox to the vbindex.php page. I have the hack installed, but it only is showing up on my forums page as of now.

You have to edit one of the home sidebar templates (i suggest home_right), and add $homeshoutbox between one of the <tr> </tr> tags...

@groovesalad - Some people change the name of the file to index.php, and delete their index.htm/.html files...

Alternatively, you could make your index.htm/.html file redirect to the vBindex.php file...

When I deleted my index.html file and changed the bvindex.php to index.php, I got a 401 error. So I assumed that it didn't default to picking up the index.php because of the .php extension.

Also, how do I place a shoutbox on there? I have it installed normally on my forums page, but it says that it supports the shoutbox on the first post in this thread. I can't figure out how to get it to show up.

Maybe I didn't install it correct becuase I dont have a home_shoutbox template under the VBindex Templates. Is this not correct?
