Hello,
Let me see how i can say this right in here,
on my site Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! i have my Stories Number in Home: in prefs, set to 10 i tired 5 but still didnt work what is happening is on each side for the blocks under the last ones it leaving empty spaces then the story/articles go past them and the only way i can stop that is delete the last post so it dont look so empty if you know i mean? sorry this is best way for me to discribe it or u can see on my site if i add another article it will stretch. Thanks hope someone can help me out

Try other themes and see if it's happening on all themes or if it is theme related.

hmmm maybe you still dont know what i am talking about? see on your main page how your middle goes way past your blocks on left and right hand sides? i dont want mine doing that just stopping at the last blocks or near it so it dont go past them when i post new articles i want it to have like a arrow down there to old ones like next page so only certain ammount stays on front without me having to delete old ones. I know this hard to explain or understand lol

I understand what you are talking about. Smile

You can set the number of news stories displayed in the home page to whatever you want, but you also will need to go to the ACP Preferences and find the following:

Let users change News number in Home?

Set it to no and your problem should be solved. Smile
