Title: SMF - Just Installed! (Extremely difficult to change)
Post by: Forward Mover on November 26, 2011, 05:19:24 PM: I have not used SMF for new forums in a while. Coming back, I see that it is still very difficult to find out where one changes this. I see that this is a COMMON issue. Just google on "SMF - Just Installed!" .

I have spent wayyy tooo much time trying to find this. I am using latest SMF and SP. I see no reference in the simple Portal Blocks section, configuration or blocks. Also, I do not see this question answered in these forums. Perhaps I missed it. Any link?

Also the CAPTCHA letters are way to small to read.

Perfect issue for a FAQ section. Notably this issue is one that many newbies encounter

Where is section this hidden? Thanks.

It is nothing to do with the portal.

Thanks for response. I do not see it. Can you provide a little more detail?

We might not be talking about same thing, as I do not see what this content has to do with a theme.

I am using the latest SMF and SP, CorruptionInsider.com

Thanks again.

Admin -> News and Newsletters

I do not have a "News and Newsletter" section, or cannot find it.

Thanks

Post by: Kryzen on November 26, 2011, 06:02:24 PM: What is "newest"? Can you tell the exact version you are using? Is there a News and Newsletters section in admin -> main?

Title: Re: SMF - Just Installed! (Extremely difficult to change)
Post by: Forward Mover on November 26, 2011, 07:22:59 PM: Thanks for response .... which worked. Yeah!

Change news in the MAIN and then the NEWS & NEWSLETTER section.

I had been searching all over, including the BLOCKS section, without success.
