Since that didn't work either (embarrassed to admit) I re-installed and selected automatic edits again - and only then did I get around to reading where I needed to set UG permissions

So in essence I've done both - but auto was the latest - having said that, I can't recall choosing a specific setting or method

Have a look in you USC options in the vBOptions to see which you are using.

I have two licensed forums - a local mom's group (not visible to unregistered guests) and a national version of that site that is guest viewable. The local group is older and much more active since the national version has not yet officially "launched" (meaning it is open and members of the local group have been told about it, but there hasn't been a concerted effort to bring new members in as we are planning that in July for our official launch)

To facilitate the launch and to help members of the local group remember to check and comment on posts on the national group, I'd like to set up a side column on the main forum page of the local group that has links to the 10 or so most recent posts on from the national site. (That when clicked would drive the member to the national site to read the thread).

Can I do that using this product? Can you give me a tip on what I would put in the side box to pull the information off the other site?

Thanks in advance for your help!

There are some instructions on vB.com for showing the latest threads in a HTML page. Use these in one of the block templates but make sure you use full urls otherwise it will pull the info for the site that you are displaying it on not the other site.

I'm using a more than 200pix wide table in one of the USC blocks and as a result I get a scroler at the bottom of the page. Is there a limit in width for the blocks so I don't get a scroler using 1024 x 768 res.

Thanks

make sure you are using a fluid width. Some fixed width styles have this behaviour due to the way they are coded.
