Sorry but you can't change the layout of the page unless you make your own HTML page.
To make your own HTML page go to admin panel=>Modules=>HTML=>HTML Pages management.

Sounds like more hassel than its worth if you ask me..

Anyone actually done this.. If so, how easy/hard is it?

Well if you know what you are doing it's not hard but you need to add the codes good because if you make mistakes then the page won't appear they way you want it to. Anyway you can always edit it in case you don't like the way it turned out. And of course you can delete it. But not that if you decide to make a HTML page you need to have a button for it since you need to add the button in the navbar.

Sounds a bit technical for me at the moment.
Maybe i'll try when im more used to this.

I had a SpreeBB forum before and PHPBB is quite alot different!

Thnx though!

jen is it like my three section news box on my site? click my profile to see. I think it is, and i can pm you a code. Not sure how well it will work in version 3 though.

by Jen7 December 13th 2007, 10:58 pm

Pretty much yeh.
I have the code, i have loads i could use i just have no idea how to use them/where to put them, it sounds complicated. LOL

You can add them in the admin panel=>General=>Homepage=>Homepage Configuration in the Homepage message box.

If you look he posted it 3minutes after you so probably either took a while to load or he clicked reply then didn't do it straight away!!

Calm down. At least the guy got what he was lookin for.
