I'm being dumb can someone spare 30 secs to help me

I have searched the boards but I can't find this hack! Its the one that is on this board where on the home page there is the "hacks" link. This takes you directly to the hacks forum. I want to employ this hack on my front page to take users to a specific forum. I want to make my own button etc and be able to call it whatever i like. I also have vbPortal installed will this hack work with that or do I need a vbPortal version of the hack?

Many thanks for any help and sorry for being such a n00b!

You want to link a special forum from an HTML page, did I get that right?

You need to add this code to the source code of your page:

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=8">Forum Name</a>

Dont forget to edit the URL to your board and also forumid. If you dont know what forum id is, open your forum page in your browser and check address bar to learn forumid of a specific forum..

Thanks for your help, the code looks right but I don't want to add it to an HTML page I want to add it to my vb home page and also my vbPortal homepage (php), I'm not sure if when you add it to vb it will also add it to vbp. You can see my homepage at: http://www.olski.com/index.php

Can I just add that code to the php index page of vbp?

Thanks for your help,

Frankly I dont use any portals and I'm not familiar with how you customize them, but I believe there should be an option to add custom links to your portal main page otherwise it would be very meaningless to use a static portal. Sorry no help from me..

Its ok I figured it out! In templates I went into edit P_themeheader and added a link to the forum I wanted, along with a link to the image as well.
