Is it possible to have a "older posts" button on the portal page to show further back than the selected value of news posts. I use my portal as my homepage and often post 3-4 articles a day that appear on the portal page. Is this something that can be done without a plugin?
I think the possibility without a plugin is minimum.
You have to use a plugin as of now, i think this has to be included in core.
I suggest you to check this proportal plugin , which has the required feature which may help you.

This link no longer connects to pro_portal, and even if it did I'm not sure pro_portal works with 1.6, and even if it did, support is non-existent.
Berlo, try paginating the portal, that might help.
new php file similar to xmlhttp.php, some javascript and a template edit to wrap the latest posts in an id'd div and have the JS fetch the next set of posts and` update the div contents

Interesting - can you add a bit more on how to do that? My latest forum has a portal page that I currently have paginated and I would like to know how to do that Big Grin

Thats really an awesome portal Smile
There is the hard way and the easy way Berlo - the hard way is to follow the ZB tutorial on how to paginate the portal (I will look to see if I have a portal.php with that built in) - or, if you have XThreads installed RateU made a plugin that will paginate the portal.

Both solutions need a visit to MyBB Hacks.
