1. Control Panel > Display Options > General

Contact link type+Contact link url

3. Make a custom island with the links in it, and use that custom island in the portal.

4. The space above the main bar you can fill in with a header (display options > html includes > header).

5. That header you set in point 4, you can also set a specific header per forum. You do that in the forum settings.

What might be a cool feature for you is to ability to put in a custom island between the first and second post of a topic, that's a perfect place for adds. You can set this per forum what custom island to use.

Thank you for any help. This is new to me and I am trying to do it all myself.


And imho that's the best way, the more you know about your forum, the more you'll be able to troubleshoot everything.
