Things to check:
ACP>News Management>Configuration - is news enabled?
ACP>News Management>News Categories - have you created a category?
When posting, did you select the news category under the post subject?
All I can think of at the moment.

Square box with red x.

at the bottom, the only X mark i can see is a link i made for my forum - think i might have edited it by mistake - will fix it later
I dont think the "news" mod is installed, i have just installed the IM portal and the news section is found in my ACP under IM portal > block management > News and adding my content via the edit link.
Is there a news mod which might be easier than this???

Sorry - my mistake. Was giving you instructions for 141.
You posted in the 141 section so thought you were using 141.
I don't know the portal version.
I don't know what it looks like, but if it's like 141 somewhat, you could put the code in the block for news.
If it is there, like 141, there is a drop down for Block File which should be news.
Like I say, not familiar with portal version.
