Go to yourforum/styles/yourstyle/template/portal/ folder and find the portal_body.html file. Open it in a text-editor (notepad, context, crimson editor etc.), and re-arrange it to whatever you'd like it to be. In the case of donation, you'd simply have to search for "donation", then copy the entire thing with <!-- IF S_DISPLAY_PAY_S --> and <!-- ENDIF --> too, and move it above <!-- IF S_DISPLAY_USERMENU --> to be on top in the right collumn.. Or you can put it in another collumn entirely.

Open yourforum/styles/yourstyle/template/portal/block/main_menu.html and find a place to add your link.

Adding custom blocks is a little harder. My best suggestion is to take a look at the html files in yourforum/styles/yourstyle/template/portal/block/ and the php files in yourforum/portal/block and see how the developers have done it, or make a request (in addons forum? not sure) and hope someone else is kind enough to help you develope a block.

Not sure about how to do your 4th question, but I hope these helps atleast =)

What do you mean? The link to the portal in the menu - beside the index link?

thank you for the quick responses !. and i sorted the 4th question myself .
Just one more question what code would you put in the main_menu.html to add the text "Arcade" that links to jak01.com/phpBB3/arcade.php please?
thanks
