Default I Regret Buying Publishing Suite

This is a pain. I've been able to customize my forums just fine.

But CMS is more difficult and not intuitive at all whatsoever. I don't like the look of my blogs either.

I asked a guy at work who says he's a professional web developer and he said he'd do it but he hasn't gotten back to me.

So I made a request in the paid services forum and haven't heard anything from anyone yet.

This is what... around $300 that could've been better wasted in a strip club and I don't even go to strip clubs.

On top of that I discovered WebTemplates, which I should've downloaded and installed instead of buying CMS.

Oh well. You live and you learn.

/end rant.


I would like to open up my forum for the public and for review but my site feels incomplete without a main page which is why I bought the publishing suite in the first place.

Octavius, that is just a basic CMS page with quite a few widgets. Have you read any of the documentation at all?

Maaaan. I have my plate full at the moment. I shouldn't have even made this thread. I know I could do it if I read the manual though. Just don't have the time. I've mostly been figuring everything out by myself though. I'm pretty smart. Just a noob. I've probably spent 10 hours a week studying vb4 and its mods and adding, uninstalling stuff, customizing etc. Crashed the forum several times, learned how to back-up and upgrade vb4 etc. My forum looks pimped-out now. Just a couple hiccups left and a horrible-looking CMS that I've disabled. I guess it might take me another month or two then I'll be satisified.

My Home Page looks horrible.

I'm going to create a YouTube video blog about this and I'll post it in a moment.

You page just needs a bit of styling and then it should be fine. You'll get it!

from what i see .its a conflict with the background, get rid of that background and stay within the original design unless your going to go completely the other way with css and stuff

then go in and edit each story section and catagory you will figure it out pretty fast. baby steps at first though
