Front page will show in the center, but only on the frontpage. So what did you put in your html block?

Hello Hugh Jorgen, I think you are confusing blocks and articles.

In TP 0.8.6 only articles have the options you describe.

Bloc is writing a Documentation http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?board=85.0 it' s also selectable through Top Menu. Not completed yet but has the basics you need.
