At a guess, you made an error in the edit of the specialtemplates bit.

Make sure it looks exactly like the example above.

I have installed this perfectly but there is something I need your guys' assistance. I have included the screenshot in the attachment.

The Featured articles list is not displayed properly I think. It doesnt stretch like the forum. I marked the part with blue for your guys' reference.

Any assistance would be very appreciated. :-)

Cheers!

Creed 03-01-2005 12:42 AM
in the FORUMHOME template edit find and change:
Code:
colspan="5">
to:
Code:
colspan="6">
There are two instances of this!
