Select Boards: Check All enabled

Then negate that in custom display? Doesn't make sense.

-~board

Try this
In advanced options select the portal and forum only. Then in custom display use this;

~topic,-~action|post

I didnt test the post2 but mine works as you requested - on portal page, on forum, not on each board but shows on topics. Doesnt show on post.

Post by: popupsteve on September 05, 2014, 03:33:22 PM: I think this is kind of what I want to do but the opposite. I want a block to appear only at the top of a specific board (which it is by selecting only that board in the list of boards), but then I don't want the block to appear within a topic under that specific board.

Post by: popupsteve on September 05, 2014, 04:44:20 PM: OK, finally found the documentation on "Custom Blocks Display (http://simpleportal.net/index.php?action=docs;area=custom_blocks_display)", much clearer then the help block from the "Add/Edit Block" in the Admin section.

This is what I ended up using: "~board|271.0,-~action|post,-~topic"

I also unchecked all boards under the "Select Boards" option and unchecked all Actions under the "Select Actions" option
