Hey guys,
I've recently upgraded to 4.0 and want to have a sidebar to display the news RSS feed from my home page. However, I don't want to pay for the entire CMS package just to get that one RSS widget feature. Is there some manual way I can add the widget? thx.

vboptions > forum sidebar > set those to what you want
forums & mods > forum blocks > add the blocks you want

There isn't an RSS block, but there is an HTML/PHP one you can code to do it for you.

Perfect. I'll just write up a simple bit of PHP to pull my RSS feed. Thanks alot.

Edit - I tried it.. works...but does it appear on the home page alone?

Yep. The blocks currently only show on the index/forum page.

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