One of the greatest things about this plugin is that it requires ZERO TEMPLATE EDITS. Yes that sounds impossible but it's true. There is one extra template added but not one single core mybb template is altered. This will not screw up your forums beyond repair. Simply "deactivate" if you have problems but please contact me if you do.
Each represents the same box you will see in your portal page. You can either use portal settings to turn these on/off, rearrange them to your desire, or add a new box with your own code (possibly an ad?).
I will post HTML code for adding additional boxes for those that aren't able to understand what to do.
