Hello I have a question about front page blocks.

This is my Front page setting in TP Admin:
-------------------------------------------------------
What to show: Forum-posts and articles-sorted on date
How fb will be shown: Normal, frontblocks are shown alone
Layout B
Number of forum-posts to show on frontpage: 4
-------------------------------------------------------

In my index page there is a welcome article on the top
and I wanted to put 4 forum-posts blocks under that. Like:
----welcome----
        1 | 2
        3 | 4
----------------

But it'll only show 3 blocks with the above setting.
And if I change the forum-posts no. to 2, then it'll show 1 block.
If changed to 6, it'll show 5...

And so if I change it to 5(to make it 4), it does show 4 blocks
but not with the layout I was hoping to see, instead it becomes like:
----welcome----
        1 | 2
           | 3
           | 4
----------------

And I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong.
It'd be great if you could point out what I might be missing.

Thanks in advance,
upper



P.S: One more thing is that... only 5 drop down boxes will show in
"Show forum-posts on front page from" option while I have 6 sub-forums.
I don't know if this is the default setting or related to above problem.

There are some problems with the current version front page layout, layout D may work better for you.

Thank you for the reply nokonium.
At least now I know it's not from my side.
