attroll - Yes. Assuming you wanted to do this to your Custom 1 template, here is what you would do... Open your myvbindex.php file and look for:

PHP Code:

if ($showcustom1) 


Change that to:

PHP Code:

if ($showcustom1 AND $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6) { 


Amongthethugs - You would just change your News Forum ID (first option under the myvbindex opts) to 3 or forumid=8
As for creating more custom templates, see the instructions in this post.

o0stephane0o - As for changing the date format, there are 3 places in the myvbindex.php file you should look for:

PHP Code:

    $thread['date'] = vbdate("m-d-y $timeformat", $thread['dateline']); 


PHP Code:

  $dateposted = vbdate("M d, Y - g:i A",$news['dateline']); 


PHP Code:

  $lastvisit = vbdate("m-d-y g:i a", $bbuserinfo['lastvisit']); 


You should be able to change the date format in those three places, and if there are any I've forgotten let me know.
As for the weather... What version of myvbindex are you running? Have you tried applying both of the fixes listed in JJR512's thread? If those don't work, please post here or PM me with a link to your site.
