Front page block, new?

[Mick]

Is this new?,...front page block?   im using tp for 3 yrs now and today i noticed "front page block" right under "center blocks".   


I tried activating a quick html code to test it out but i couldnt find it in the front page.

Am i missing something?

Is your article in a category?  What version of TP you using?

[Mick]

The "front page blocks" are articles?

Im using TP98.

Right under "center blocks" in tp admin,it shows to create "front page blocks".  Ive been picking my brain on this one as i cannot find what i created.

I loaded a screenshot of blocks and articles currently activated in my forum.

The frontpage blocks will only be shown based upon your frontpage settings. Look at your frontpage settings and you'll see options on whether/how to display the frontpage blocks.

Wow!  The things you never know if you dont ask lol.

Excellent!  Now i got something new to play with.

Thank you.

No problemo. If you haven't played with TP 1.x, you're in for a ride.

Thanx Ich.

I took the opportunity to add a splash page.   "Home" button in nav bar will take you to the Home page with more content.

I figured i'd do this is i read stupid search engines dont like front pages with 100 links or more.  Hell i had 275 links lol.

Thanx for your time.
