Portal page

[Valcav]

I didn't know where I should post this...
In the thread "[Layout mod] All look same?", or in the other thread "[Custum Pages] Ability to have your own pages", or as a new request...
it has to do a little bit of both threads, or should/could be done by one of those 2 threads...

Like I told in 1 of those 2 threads, I used to have a portal page on my old forum (phpBB3)
I just logged into my old forum to go into the admincp, to grab some info about this portal-page...
