Hi and welcome to elkarte.net. :)

What version of elkarte are you using? 1.0 or 1.1?

Yeah, today has been a rather busy day.

Sorry  for asking more questions before giving an answer, but the correct answer depends on your replies. ;)
1.0.x has not this button by default, so I guess you used an addon, right?
Ultimate menu? SimplePortal? The one used here on elkarte.net?

Okay, that makes things clear. :)

What you can do is remove (or maybe better comment out) these lines in sources/PortalIntegration.subs.php:
Code: [Select]
	$buttons = elk_array_insert($buttons, 'home', array(
		'forum' => array(
			'title' => empty($txt['sp-forum']) ? 'Forum' : $txt['sp-forum'],
			'data-icon' => '',
			'href' => $sportalurl,
			'show' => in_array($modSettings['sp_portal_mode'], array(1, 3)) && empty($context['disable_sp']),
			'sub_buttons' => array(),
		),
	), 'after');
To comment them out, you can add two consecutive / at the beginning of each line, along the lines of:
Code: [Select]
//	$buttons = elk_array_insert($buttons, 'home', array(
//		'forum' => array(
//			'title' => empty($txt['sp-forum']) ? 'Forum' : $txt['sp-forum'],
ect.
to all the lines above.

Regarding the login/out, in the SP configuration page, there is an option "Disable Portal Redirection", make sure to remove the tick from it and save.

You are welcome.
Though, I'm a bit curious (if you want to answer, of course): why do you want to hide the boards from your members?

You can try FlarumStyle addon and see if you like it. It is a topic based rather than category.

In themes/default/languages/english/EmailTemplates.english.php
Depending on the type of confirmation there are different texts. If you have problems finding the correct one, please give more details on how you set up the registration so we can point you in the right direction. ;)

ehh... that's a bit of a tricky part.
There is http://www.elkarte.net/community/index.php?topic=513.0 but it's far from being perfect. If you plan to use it, read it until the end of the topic (it's just 5 pages, not much) because there are few suggestions on how set it up "properly".
