On our forum, we use the left column for custom islands. At the bottom of the column is something labeled Portal Box 39. (Screenshot attached.) I cannot figure out where that's coming from, and I'd like to get rid of it. Can someone advise me please?

If you cannot disable it from the CP (CP -> Portal & Islands -> Column Layout) you can edit your includes/config.inc.php:
Code
  'LEFT_COLUMN_BOXES' => 
  array (
  ),
  'RIGHT_COLUMN_BOXES' => 
  array (
    1 => 'portal_box_8',
    2 => 'public_calendar',
    3 => 'portal_box_4',
    6 => 'portal_box_7',
    9 => 'forum_stats',
    12 => 'top_posters_30',
    19 => 'portal_box_39',
  ),

Control Panel > Column Layout will allow you to HIDE/SHOW/SORT any of the left or right column items.

"Portal Box #" is a generic name for portal boxes that have no name.
go to Control Panel > Custom Islands. select Edit next to the portal box that has no name on your list.
Now you can give it a custom name.

Thanks Gizmo & Isaac. That was weird, but once i understood what to look for, I was able to disable it in the Control Panel. It was our Custom Island 11, and this was the contents. (Screenshot attached) No idea how the name Custom Isalnd 11 got translated into Portal Box 39.
