This really isn't a hack but something else to add to your main forum page.

In index.php right before

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('forumhome')."\");" );

put

$today = vbdate("F jS,Y",time());

(change the dateformat to however you have yours set up, ie:
m-d-y or as I have it above.

Then in the forumhome template

put

<smallfont>Today is: <b>$today</b></smallfont>

wherever in the forumhome template you would like to put this.

tried that, didn't show up at all. im using vbulletin 2.2.0 by the way, hrmm... the variable doesnt show up at all in the template.

Did you put the line

<smallfont>Today is: <b>$today</b></smallfont>

into your forumhome template?

Thanx Parker Clack, nice little addition for the members, very easy mod and can generally go any place you'd like it.

Thanks. This helped me figure out how to do something. :)
