UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums Resources and Customizing How Do I? Using portal pages for straight HTML

How will it work with a main forum?
The way it is now in 7.1.0 or like you say for the subforms.
If so, I got a lot of coding to do and I'm php challanged!!!!
I have a forum that is disabled, but I link to topic the forum and control access via permissions. Users and Guests have read only.
