Couple of questions

[Spangle]

I'm testing VB5 and trying to get to know it a bit better with the hope of upgrading my forum to it, I'm having an issue with the modules.

In the absence of I CMS ( I can't find one) I'm trying to create my own portal page, I've got this far, but I want to add more in the area marked out in green, is there a way of doing it using the html module ?

I also want to use this "portal" portal page, as a landing page, but I'm having trouble working out how to do that as well

Isn't that an html module already on the left? Just have two divs in it - float one right and one left - make them each about 45% width and then put your stuff in there. I just did that on my site (image attached)

That is exactly what I want to do Lynne, can you give me a pointer to the html for it please ?

This is what I entered:

<div style="border: 1px solid black; float: right; padding: 5px; width: 45%">Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum ........
</div>
<div style="border: 1px solid black; float: left; padding: 5px; width: 45%;">
Lorem Ipsum .......
</div>

Can someone tell me how to make a new page the landing page.

I want to construct a "Portal Page" rather than a CMS, and have that as my forums landing page.

Have you tried just altering the main landing page?

I don't think that will work though will it ?

If I'm thinking right you are saying re-naming the forums page to "home" and constructing a new forums page ?
