    Help setting up welcome message on main page.

    I am trying to set up a welcome message on the main page of my forum but am having a hard time figuring out how to do that. Can someone please give me directions on how to set up a welcome on main page similar to how this forum has it?

    Thank you.

    Go to the Admin CP, and choose Notices on the side menu. Either edit an existing or add a new notice, You can use HTML in the notice to format it and choose when it should appear (and/or to whom) in the options below the edit box.

      Oh no, I didn't mean a notice. I meant I am trying to set up the right side bar on the main forum where the welcome message would go and the latest topics but I can't figure out how to add those things to my forum.

        You should be able to EDIT PAGE then drop a Static HTML module at the top of the right hand column, then enter your text message in the Static HTML module.

          Sorry, misunderstood. TheGLForum is correct, as usual. Use Site Builder, Static HTML Module.

            Thank you very much! That worked perfectly. I spent hours fooling around with those modules and couldn't figure it so thank you again for helping me fix that.
