Portal Modification(s)

[Dougy]

Hey,

I'm trying to number one make my own boxes on the MyBB portal, like this:

If someone could explain how or write an admin CP area to do it automatically that would be great. Also, I'm looking to make the latest posts a bit different than displayed here:

I would like to center that (which I know how to do) but make it display posts like PunBB does, example here:

Can you write something or tell me how modify that appropriately?

I got some of it working, temporarily at least.
