Nice plugin, but imo you have to provide it under the GPL because half of your plugin containing code of the MyBB portal.php file which is released under the GPL itself.
License sucks, other than that, it's looking nice.

I agree, GPL or you have broken the rules and if anyone removes your 'link' and you pursue it...you will not have a valid case anyway

This is not a 'free' plugin.It is a tribute to MyBB. I changed the license so as it does not cover the parts taken from portal.php and you may now modify the plugin but should be shared here so as others may benefit from it.
I am glad that you liked this plugin though
Edit: I am working on a new license which will give you more freedom and be more appropriate.

Actually I don't think you can. From the moment you use the code from portal.php you MUST use the same license as MyBB.
License change:
This plugin is now under
GNU GPL v3
Hello Nayar and thanks for this great tool.
I am hoping you can give me a bit of guidance. The boxes were easy to install and look and act great on my computer's window but they force the page to be too large on a few of the member's browsers forcing them to have to scroll right to see the whole page. Can you walk me thru a fix? And for the record I am a complete novice for the most part so if you would be so kind as to A,B,C it for me. ;-)
@ Cynthial:
I am complete novice too.
Give me the link to your forum. I'll see what i can do.
What browser are you using?
I am on firefox.
