I have Home > Articles (section) > (categories) of articles > actual content.

See attachment.

What am I doing wrong? And how do I figure out what "node" my home content is in (if it's not 1 because that doesn't seem to work)?

1. Yes, you need to put the actual nodeids of the sections you want to randomize there. Those are the numbers in the url (1-Index).

2. If you want to see what node controls your homepage, go to admincp -> Settings -> Options -> Content Management -> Default Page

3. What do you mean when you say it's "not working"? It's not randomizing the content? It's giving you a blank page? It's doing something else unexpected?

4. What version of vBulletin?
