OK
So I am a noob when it comes to managing my site.

Now I need to setup a forum to behave as a link, so we can have a link back to our sister sites.

Could someone pleeeease tell me where to do this in the vb3 rc2 acp ?

In forum manger, select the forum and click "Edit Forum"

At the toip of the forum edit page there is a box with

" Forum Link (Entering a URL here will cause anyone clicking the forum link to be redirected to that URL) " next to it

simply type the URL in ther (rembering the http:// ) and your ready :)

And how can you make that link open up in a new screen instead of same window?

in the link code add a target, {a href'"your link.com" target="_blank"}

substitute the {} for proper html brackets of course.
