How do you set up the "Recent Pictures" on top of all the other tables, as with this site

On my test site I have added 5 images to the Gallery, but only one shows up in the Portal and obviously the table is not on top of the others.
Also, how do you get as in the "Partners In Crime " site above, 4 images to show along with the text underneath each image, ie. Views, Comments, By.
I have been to the Gallery Settings and as far as I can see done everything there I can.

Thanks.

Forum: http://klubx.freesmfhosting.com/index.php

Is it possible to pull the information for "whoisonline", "recentposts", "userblock" and "randomgame" from somewhere and add it to a custom HTML block so I can change the background colour?

Also, is it possible to limit the recent posts amount to 5?

Thanks.

When I said 'til death do us part' I didn't realise I was setting a goal.

Well that solves then  :laugh: Thanks for the reply

How about editing the css for tables, would that change the background colour for tables in the portal?

No that won't do it.  You would have to change the background color for .windowbg

If you change it , remember it will change a lot of areas on your forum that use .windowbg including the alternating posts.

Check this site to see where those areas are, and how it will effect the rest of your forum if you change them:

There is a chart at the top of the page that will help you know what you are looking for there.

(sibyl makes mental note:   I should put the portal on there)

Thanks for your help, I had a look at that link and I think it would completely mess up the styles of the rest of the forum.

Yeah it might if you arent careful with the colors.
SMF has a new portal system that he has been working on.. he mentioned he might move it over to the forums sometime soon...  so hang on and see how that goes.

Create an html block.

Put this in there:

<a href="URL" target=_blank><img src="IMAGE URL"></a>

URL= url to the server
IMAGE URL = your image url
