The TagBoard is no more than a bulletin board that you can insert for free in your own forum with a few simple steps.
It can be used only by admin, to spread news, for example, or as a public bulletin board where users can talk to each other.

Installation
To insert the tagboard, simply go to Insert TagBoard, then choose the sections where you want to insert it and confirm your changes. You can also choose a single section.
To remove it simply remove the checkmark from the sections where it is present.

Newsboard
The Newsboard is a tagboard, but the difference is that only moderators and administrators of the forum can post. To choose this option, in the administrative tool should indicate that there can post only the admins.

Tagboard and Newsboard together
You can not put them together. One solution is to create a table above the tagboad, to write the news of your own forum. You must use the "Tables generator", in Manage HTML code, or the Personal Newsboard.

Alternative name
You can insert an alternative name, that will appear in place of "TagBoard" or "NewsBoard", using the appropriate option.

Background image in the TagBoard
To customize it, go to Edit colors and styles and edit the following selectors:

Instead of http://image_address, enter the actual address of the image that you want to put as background.


This statement means that the background image is repeated both horizontally and vertically, unless you want the image repeatition enter no-repeat.

If you want that the image hypothetically has a special placement in respect to the tagboard, go to insert soon after what said before ;background-position:, followed by center, left or right depending on your needs.

Note: This method also affects the side pop-up menu, if you make these changes, the background also appear there.
