thank you very much for your help, i created the custom page
this way instead, all works wonderfully except for one silly thing:
the subscribed forums block is missing some css: no spacing, no padding, no borders between rows, and theres a link saying "Unsubscribe from this forum" instead of the unsubscribe image that shows on forumhome. forum icons, background, and font family/size/color are fine.
im so close yet not quite there - very much hope for your kindness in spotting the piece im missing
this is my template, custom_subscribed_forums:
PHP Code:
{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">
<head>
<title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle} - {vb:raw pagetitle}</title>
{vb:raw headinclude}
{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}
</head>
<body>
{vb:raw header}
{vb:raw navbar}
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1>
</div>
<vb:if condition="$show['forums']">
<!-- ############## SUBSCRIBED FORUMS ############## -->
<div class="block" id="new_subscribed_forums">
<h2 class="blockhead">{vb:rawphrase subscribed_forums}</h2>
<ol class="blockbody settings_form_border" id="forumlist">
{vb:raw forumbits}
</ol>
</div>
<!-- ############## END SUBSCRIBED FORUMS ############## -->
</vb:if>
{vb:raw footer}
</body>
</html>
this is my page, custom-subscribed-forums.php:
