I followed your instructions but I get this.

Also, was unable to add the phrase Position under Global as there was already one there. Any suggestions?

Respect this :

Varname : aff_new
Setting Group : Display news box ?
Title : Display news box
Description : This option allow you to display or not the news box on your forum
Option Code : yesno
Default :
Display Order : 1

!!!!!
The setting group already existed coz u've created it just before

Ok, re-did that last bit. I went to add the aff_new via the drop down options lsit, not the news option on the side. Once I used the icon on the left it worked. Now however, I have this problem : http://legionsofloki.com

i think that it is interfering with the code for the side bar. If I were to stick it inside some table code would that fix it?

Would it be a case of changing the table code in the news template so that it matches the code for the forum?

Try modifying news template to adjust it with your "special" header
