The current versions of CMPS will work with all of the vB 3.0.x series so you're fine using it with 3.0.8 (check over on vBadvanced.com for vB 3.5.x).

Thank you. I just converted from IPB and miss the portal.

Wait, does 1.0.1 work with 3.0.8 or does 2.0, or do both versions work with 3.0.8

1.01 worked fine with my 3.0.8.

Both versions will work fine with 3.0.8 but using 2.0 is recommended because of all of the new features it has.

I think 1.01 is the CMS were you add custom pages using HTML from your admin menu isn't it? More like a adding pages and menu entries for it. I've used that alongside the more fully blown CMPS and they work fine together. The 1.01 version is not really a portal. It's just a content cms if I'm right that has a menu structure on the left hand side to access the diffderent cms pages you create. Unlike the CMPS that acts as a main portal using blocks etc

Where can I get support for this?

I thought moving from phpBB to vBulletin would make adding mods easier but its just as complicated and hard, after spending ages installing this mod nothing happens...I just get sent to my forums like usual.......

Do you mean you are getting sent to your forum when you click the link in your footer? You have edited the link incorrectly in your admin settings that links to your portal page. For example if your portal file is called portal.php and it's loctated in your forums folder. Just enter the full URL leading to it in the homepage box in your admin cp

vbulletin options -> Site Name/URL/ Contact Details ->

Then in the URL Box enter the address that leads to were you want the link in the footer to point to on your forum
