I would like to remove either the Main Page or the Forums page from my menu because they basically look the same. I am thinking I can remove the link to the Forums page and the application will still work? Yes/No????

Personally I would like to remove the default.aspx page and use forumhome.aspx page as the default. I am not going to put any custom stuff on the top of the page like I believe you can do with the default page.

This is very simple to accomplish. If you are using forums only and do not need any custom text above them, then ForumHome.aspx can be removed from the menu (by removing "Forums" from the links in the main menu config).
Then, from the admin screen click "Main Configuration." Then, on this screen where it has a dropdown titled "Main Page Options" change the drop-down to "Forums Only."
This will remove the custom text from default.aspx and will effectively make it be the same thing as ForumHome.aspx.

Thanks, it works great!
Please, a new question! How does one turn on that "Read The Lastest Comments()" feature which displays the latestcomments.gif ?

To turn on that box that has topics with the "latest comments" link you will need to use what we call "News Topics." The code for this is.
[NewsTopics=0]Name of Box[/NewsTopics]
0 means that the topics will stay in this box forever as long as they are news topics. If you change that to say a 7, then only news topics posted within the last 7 days will appear in the box.
To make a topic a news topic, when it is created or when you edit one, select the checkbox that says "Show Topic In Latest News Box."
You'll need to be an admin to do that, but of course, you can modify the code in any way to make it perform how you like.

I am developing a formum application based on DMG Forums. Is there a way to display a one line summary of responses on a topics and then click on the response to view. For example:
Topic: 1/11/2008 newdev1 Can a one line summary be displayed without new code?
Reply: 1/12/2008 guru1 I think it can by using the admin page...
Reply: 1/13/2008 guru2 I disagree. You will have to generate new code...
Reply: 1/13/2008 guru1 No. I can be implements wth existing...

You have answered your question within the example. It will take a custom module to accomplish this. The good news is that I don't think it would be too hard. Start another thread for this topic and let me know where you need help to get started on coding it.
