1) Go to your Administration Panel located at the bottom of your forum.
2) Once you are in there click on Admin Index located on the menu to the left. 3) Once you are in there you will see a paragraph or two and you "Who is online" indicator. What you want is where you see a blue link named "Control Panel". Here is a picture: 
4) Now it will ask for your "Forum Name" and your "Password". Your "forum name" will be your forum name. Your "Password" will be the password you use to log into your account on your forums. 5) Once you are all logged in you will see various things but what you want is the "Options" tab. Here is a picture to illustrate that: 
6) Now once you are in the "Options" tab you will see a area to put this code in:
then click "Save Forum" located at the bottom of the text input area. 7) You can now close out of your "Control Panel" and head back to your "Administration Panel". Once you are in there it is time to edit your template. To get to "Edit Templates/Logos" scroll down through your menu and you shall see it under "Styles Admin". Click on "Edit Templates/logos". 8. Alright you will see a mess of things. (Now if you haven't already registered the "Editor" user please go and log out and make him as you will not be able to proceed with instructions.) Ok now create a template by coping the template you want to edit. By that I mean choose the template from the drop down menu. (Note: You have to add some templates you like in order to see templates to copy. To add templates simply go back to "Administration Panel" and choose "Add" under "Styles Admin" and "Install" some templates.) To show you want I mean by copying a template and making a copied template to edit here is a picture: 
9) Alright your almost finished so just hang on a little bit longer. Once you have chosen your template to copy and have clicked "Submit" as shown in picture go back to "Edit Template/Logo" and its time to edit the template you just created. Here is a picture showing how to edit the template you created: 
10) Once you have followed the pictures instructions you will find yourself in some crazy and confusing stuff. First thing is first though editing your "overall_header.tpl". Now here is a picture showing you how to get to your "overall_header.tpl" to edit it. 
11) Next you will find yourself in a mess of codes. Do not worry this will be fairly simple. Take this code...
and scroll all the way to the "BOTTOM" of the code and enter in at very end. I repeat the VERY END of the code. Then you may proceed by pressing the "Submit" button. 12) You will find yourself back at the screen where you first found the "overall_header.tpl". Now it is time to finish this. Here is a picture with the next instructions: 
13) You will find yourself in another mess of codes but this one is REALLY simple. Just select all the code in there and delete it then replace it with...
Once you have done this click the "Submit" button then follow th next instructions. 13) Now we are back to the screen with the drop-down menus and "overall_header.tpl" stuff. All you have left to do is click "Make Deafult" the go back to your forum and you shall now have the "News Fader Portal" An example of this portal is right above "~Anything Forums Menu~" located to the left of my forum. Now if you want to change what the portal says simply got back to your "Control Panel" back to "Options" and edit the...
"item1=News fader" and instead of "News fader" you put what ever you want it to say. This applies to all of the "items#=" you can also add more by putting "item3=" "item4=" so on and so forth. Also you can edit the title of your "News Fader" by editing "title=News" and putting something else after the "=" sign. Make sure to save each time you edit the code!

The options tab no longer exists, create a FADER component in the forums admin panel, by clicking on portal settings followed by clicking the icon titled MENU and then changing the name to FADER and clicking create new portal, then carry on from point 13 in the guide.
Links aren't working at the moment for some reason, will have to check the code, but you can get the fader running like you see above on template 1. |

{MYFF.FADER} any where you'd like it to appear, if you named it NEWSFADER then it would become {MYFF.NEWSFADER} | |||||||||

when you go to the admin panel and choose portal settings you should see one called fader, click it and it's options should be like the main menu's where the item will be how you define what text will appear. | |||||||||
