Yes. That’s the one. Perhaps we should add this to the docs until a better solution emerges.

Yeah that would be great, because the dokumentation does not tell a lot about the creation and layout of the homepage except that 'it' s different' :) thank you for the help. I like this board a lot. So fast and helpful answers :)
