I'm trying to change the number of articles displayed on the front page from 10, to 5.

I've changed the "$limitnews" variable to 5, but my Geeklog STILL showes 10 articles!

Please help.

You changed limitnews in config.php? Try also changing the variable in your user's preferences page.

YAY!

I logged out, and sure enough only 5 articles where on the mian page, so I logged back in a looked at my preferneces, and saw that it was indeed set to ten.

Thanks a lot for your help
