Main page and content managment question

I was just interested in what CMS or plug-ins that you were using for the home page.

Also, I did notice one thing, no big deal, but the bullet for the chosen link on the left is always pointing a media.

Great work guys, take a break before it wears you guys out.

The little little arrow pointing at Media means that there are more menu options burried. If you click on it you get 4 more options.

The CMS is called vbDrupal, although it has been slightly modified to fit our needs.

Gotcha. I didn't click on it, so I wasn't sure.

CMS - It looked like drupal. How do you like it? I was thinking about using the same thing, but it looked a little iffy to use.

It's not bad, takes some getting used to though. Dave is used to Joomla, I prefer vBAdvanced. It seems to be pretty light-weight which is nice. It's also very easy to disable "features" that we don't want.

I have a few articles Ive tried to submit for the main page on more than one occasion these articles have never been posted. Their may or may not be an issues.

I was just wondering if under the new management these articles may be wanted and appreciated.

If an admin is interested let me know and i can resend.

IROC, can you use these that I posted two years ago or do you need me to email them to you again?

I know I'm not Irocz, but they can (and will) be added. You do not need to resend them.

Thanks.

Yeah,
JT is your man if you have any content that you need posted. I wrote up a tutorial on how to upload content correctly. If the work load becomes too much he will deligate to other admin. I sent him a good tutorial on how to properly get the job done.
