Hi,

I'm trying to get this into my forum. but I cannot find the

<!-- / guest welcome message -->

or

<!-- / main -->

in FORUMHOME under Edit Templates. Has the way to implement this changed on vBulletin 3.7.4 Patch level 1 ?

Or is there a better way to have a separate login page on vBulletin ?

Help help.

Regards,
Apurv

I installed this hack and while it looks very nice I ran into a problem. I accidently deleted a part of the code for the forum home page that shouldn't have been deleted. Can someone look at it: http://www.justusnurses.com/forum/index.php and perhaps send me a code for the entire forum home page including the hack? Thanks.

Otherwise if someone could send me a copy of just the homepage without the hack I will reinstall the hack more carefully. Thanks so much.

Great hack by the way!
