    I have accidentally removed all the blocks in the "My Welcome Page".
    How am i going to reinstate them?

    Thanks

    I think this will work  (General Welcome Page)

    Access your DB (assuming you don't even have a WELCOME BLOCK which you could use to reset to default)

    Select the pgv_blocks table on the left (using PHP-MY-ADMIN)
    On the right, view your blocks. If none exist, go to INSERT and add
    b_id b_username b_location b_order b_name                      b_config
    1 Your U/N          right               0 print_welcome_block s:0:"";

    Save/Insert and return to Welcome page and use the block to reset to default.

    For a personal welcome page, create a new user with admin rights, log out, log in as the new user. Configure yourself as you wish and then log out. Using PHP-MY-ADMIN, copy your settings back to the original U/N.

    Unfortunately, that did not work.
    As you told me i added the "welcome block" manually from phpmyadmin but that did not have any results.
    Besides, the blocks were already there, i just wanted to be certain and consequently i added one manually.

    I finally got it. It was  a mess.
    I changed the position of the block from right to main( although i do not think this was the cause of the problem) and i deleted a user i had created. I do not how, but it seems that this last one hindered my efforts to fix the issue.

    Anyway, thanks for your help.
