Your other option is to create a custom forum just for content to display in the portal. You could probably make it hidden from the main category list so it just appears in the portal page. I Haven't tried it but it does state in the "Forums to pull news from:" settings: Quote Note: This ignores user groups, so anyone will be able to read these items regardless of their permissions.

Just see the "external use" link in portal settings and use Code {php}{/php} vs Code <?php ?> I am a Web Development Contractor, I do not work for UBBCentral.

Post what ever you want html or ubb code. select it to appear in the portal. DONE! Blue Man Group There is no such thing as stupid questions. Just stupid answers
