I would suggest that you copy the header template to the home_header one making sure that all the paths are set correctly for the images and hyperlinks

to get another latest threads just from a forumid of my wishes

For info on how the permisions work: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ums#post317875

Just change the Query in the threads section to say forumid=X instead of !=$newforum and !=$pollsforum

[bahamut0]

thanks will give that a shot was getting a little bothersome changing header code then going to home header and changing the same stuff lol
wow would of thought that would be a easy fix and something i would of thought of , more sleep i think i need. :nervous:

[bahamut0]

one more thing this might be the wrong forum to put this in but since it's for your index hack i'll ask here. does anyone have mabye a button that i can add to both the main index and vb index to go back and forth between them. like vbhome and home buttons .

I would like to see a random image thing!

Ok i have everything installed, but I want to have it some the user login, and the 5 most recent threads show on my main page at http://www.ryanmcbain.com what do I have to do to make this happen?

[Kohhal]

Ok, here's a slight problem I have that maybe you can help me with. (hack works fine, this is just related to "who's online")

I've created .htaccess as described in the install instructions so vbindex loads when the url : http://www.mysite.com is entered. If I then quickly skip to the who's online page it says I'm on my Main forums index page, not my homepage(in the root above /forum where vbindex.php resides). But if I manually enter http://www.mysite.com/vbindex.php and then skip to the who's online it shows me as being on the homepage correctly.(so the who's online php code is fine)

So,(phew) is it possible to get the who's online to show my location correctly with regard to the .htaccess redirect?
