Hmm... This is just a guess, but try editing your index template. In the first table, you'll see class="page". Try removing that and see if it has an effect. You will also see the welcome box in the index template, just a little below the code I just asked you to remove. ;)

sweet, worked great. thanks

Just FYI. I upgraded to RC4 and it still works like a charm from what I can tell.

This is my gode now :

I replace MYPAGE with the new link...also...the forum ID is 2.
I also create a new emply templated named index_news2 but it don't works.

I'm not sure but I think that might have been a bug with VB-3 RC-2 or 3, have you upgraded to the latest version of VB-3? (RC-4 is the newest)

QUESTION: how did you incorporate the portal template with PhotoPost in your differentdawn.com link you provided in the first post as an example of this portals usage?

i've been looking for a portal for vb3 that has an easy way of incorporating multimple skins for vb3.

I'm interested in doing something like this as well. Is there a way to include php files in the custom blocks?

Tigga,

Great job on this.
