Post by: Paul on March 20, 2011, 10:54:55 AM
In your portal there is a welcome message from freeforum.ca,

 to change this message to your own go to
ACP > Stargate portal > modules > edit welcome message

The first thing you can do is change the name of the block
then delete the text in the information box and add your own message.

here you can see the edited page

You will notice that i have used html in the message, this is so i have text on several lines but if you want just one line there is no need to use it.
If you like you can copy this code into the information box and replace the text in blue with your message.

[COLOR=Blue]Text line 1[/COLOR]



[COLOR=Blue]text in line2[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Blue]text in line 3[/COLOR]

Next you can click on manage blocks > find the block name (this should be "welcome to my board") > click the green edit symbol > now you can change the name of this block to one thats more suitable.  (http://img245.imagevenue.com/loc514/th_062898085_portal3_123_514lo.jpg) (http://img245.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=062898085_portal3_123_514lo.jpg)

Here is the finished result  (http://img153.imagevenue.com/loc586/th_628991694_portal4_123_586lo.jpg) (http://img153.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=628991694_portal4_123_586lo.jpg)
