Is there a setting in the admin to display image attachments on the portal page? Also, the portal page displays the entire post. Is there a setting for the number of characters to display and then a "read more" link will show up?

For images, simply attaching the image to the post should work and for a `read more` link, simply add

[*end_news_blurb*]

where you want the the news to cut off minus the asterix *

Thanks, but the images are attached and show in the post allready. However they do not show up on the portal page. Just for clarification, these images are file attachmnts uploaded during posting and not inline image displayed via UBB code. My portal page. http://www.firstcoastangler.com/forum/ubbthreads.php
