Hi,

I have installed VB and it's good to go... Only 1 issue.

I'm trying to design a homepage similar to the forum layout. This is what I have done so far: www.satellitestuff.net.

I have 2 questions:

1. When members log in from the home page, it bounces them back to the home page instead of going to the forum at http://www.satellitestuff.net/Satell...A-Free-To-Air/. Also, is there a way to show them as logged in on the home page when they are logged in?

2. Is there any HTML codes that I can use on the home page to display the recent threads?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

You should take a look at one of these articles on how to make another vb-like page - How to create your own vBulletin-powered page! (uses vB templates) or [How-To] vBulletin API Basics: Creating Custom Pages & Misc.. If you use that, you should be able to see if a user is logged in on the homepage.

For recent threads, you may use one of these or just write your own query instead:
[HowTo] Display your latest threads on an external page using an RSS2 feed
[HowTo] Display your latest threads on an external page using an XML feed

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
