Doing This
 

OK, A member of my forum suggested I scrap the portal I was going to reinstall and add all thbe popular things to my forum page

His idea:

Now I could probably do most of that through template mods, But how can I do that active topics/News bit?

TIA

Last10 hack I use this one, it's great.

Check out the final release hacks forum, you have several options.

I installed that, But where do I put the code so it displays to the right of the forum list?

The PHP inlcude code dosen't want to work :(

You need put the code in the table you want the links to appear in. Also, your index page must be named index.php in order for it to work.

Have a look at my home page to see how I have it inside the table.

Yeah but mines going in the vBulletin index.php so where exactly do I put the code?

/\Bump :)/\

You're going to modify your Vb index page to do all this? Then that's a good question, because I don't think I've ever seen that done without a portal of some kind. Maybe someone else has a suggestion there (?)

Ps: I'm getting prompted for a download when trying to call the URL of your site, is it just me?
