Feel free to contact me if you wish to volunteer for testing this for me.

Thanks for that but I used your plugin as a template edit instead and got it working that way. Works brilliantly, thank you

You should visit WC3 validate after installing this on the FORUMHOME. Becuase you end up with about 9 errors just from the code on the HOMEPAGE entered. Some tags are not right or missing etc. Yet the forumhome page validates 100% before you install this. Would be a nice if the validation could be sorted out as it's a very useful hack.

There is no way that this can be happening with this modification if the instructions are followed to the letter as it places the entire forumhome template in the right column.

I've pretty much got it all fixed, so I'm going to do some more testing and depending on how it goes should release the update later today or tomorrow.
