It may seem a silly question but in the `Recent Topics` island and `Portal Settings` it says:

You may specify multiple forums to pull news and announcements for the main page.

Now I want to include some but not all but how do I choose multiple forums without including all?

For example:

x Blah Forum
x Blah Forum
Blah Forum
Blah Forum
x Blah Forum
x Blah Forum
Blah Forum
x Blah Forum

As opposed to:

x Blah Forum
x Blah Forum
x Blah Forum
x Blah Forum
x Blah Forum
x Blah Forum
x Blah Forum
x Blah Forum

Hold down the control key while clicking on items in the form; this will allow you to select multiple items when clicking on them. I think this needs to be documented on that page

Ah, a simple solution for my simple mind!

On a different note, if I were to select all forums, would the topics shown be from all, or would a user only see topics for those forums that they have access to?

All forums; it should have a warning not to select private forums.
