and I can't get one to show up on the front page of www.powerlevel.org

Any clues?

Ok There is two different Styles you can do this with.

Style #1

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] TITLE OF MODULE</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow" align="center">

<a href="insert link here">INSERT TITLE HERE</a>

<a href="insert link here">INSERT TITLE HERE</a>

<a href="insert link here">INSERT TITLE HERE</a>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

Style #2

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">$vba_options[portal_blockbullet]
BLOCK NAME HERE $vbphrase[vba_navigation]</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td class="alt1" style="text-align: center;">


<a href="INSERT LINK HERE">INSERT NAME HERE</a></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td class="alt2" style="text-align: center;">


<a href="INSERT LINK HERE">INSERT NAME HERE</a></td>
</tr>

</table>
 

on this style you'll notice

<td class="alt2" style="text-align: center;">

This code tells the module what color the background should be. In order to keep this alternating when adding a new link alternate alt1 with alt2 etc.

Enjoy!

OR Template Include: links

Ok I made a new template.

Named it: adv_portal_games

Put in the code:

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">$vba_options[portal_blockbullet] Games:</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow" align="center">

<a href="insert link here">1</a>

<a href="insert link here">2</a>

<a href="insert link here">3</a>

</td>
</tr>
</table>
 

I then go to: Add Module

Title: Games
Module Ident: (left blank)
File: None
Templete to include: adv_portal_games
Active: Yes
Left Column
Templates used: (left blank)

I did all of that and it still isn't working. I know this is dead simple, it just plain isn't working for me. :(

template to include should be games. NOT adv_portal_games

Yes name of template and template include are two different names.

Just change the module settings to:
Title: Games
Module Ident: (left blank)
File: None
Templete to include: games
Active: Yes
Left Column
Templates used: adv_portal_games (would be better than blank as it wont leave you with an uncached template) but blank will work.
