Ok Im in the admin section, I find News and Newsletters

I've put in 3 random posts and saved them, they display in the preview box and are saved correctly I think.. but I can't see them anywhere and don't know where they are.

I've read:
This section allows you to set the text for news items displayed on the Board Index page. Add any item you want (e.g., "Don't miss the conference this Tuesday"). Each news item is displayed randomly and should be placed in a separate box.

Hi sinatik,

sinatik45, has this issue been resolved yet? If not, go to Admin > Configuration > Current Theme and make sure the following is checked:

Enable random news line in the forum header
Show news fader on board index


The first one will show the news right below your user welcome screen on top. The second one will be right below the navigation menus and has an option to fade (seconds which are adjustable right below if you look in that section).
