Help Please!
 

Hi,

I just got my license for VB. I am looking for some basic modifications before hosting my forum:

1] A different skin/ change of color

2] A different front page where I can give Latest developments on my forum etc.

2] When un-registered or un-authorized users access certain pages, they should get some message asking them to "register" rather than saying "no threads here"

3] A chatbox/ shoutbox/ soup talk kind of utility utility where users can just send there messgaes.

Any suggestions/Mods/Links for this is most welcome!

Thanks

1. try the styles section
2. try vBAdvanced.com or similar portal page
2. try the hack for better Welcome Headers
3. try Flashchat w/ Paul M's integration

Thanks very much for the answers
2] Can you give me the name of some other portal page then vbadvanced?
3] Could you provide me the link?
4] flashchat -> I heard there was a security hole with flashchat. Is it fixed now? Is flashchat better to use or vbshout (from zero tolerance)

appreciate your guidance!

cheers!

assuming you have the most recent release of vB;

Welcome headers - Improve community registration rates, for you new welcome headers. i'm not familiar with the other portal's, but there is one called vB Portal i believe. the most recent flashchat is secure... Flashchat Integration for vB 3.6 w/ Who is chatting (for Flashchat).
