Well how to make to show the last uploaded and random pics tables only on the main page?
Read the documentation.
You can't make them only on the main page, they appear for all categories.
Ok, the one says that it's in the documentation the other that it's impossible?
no, the one who's telling you to read the docs was suggesting that the docs say you can't have it on the start page only - in fact the same answer given twice. Kegobeer was trying to help you to help yourself by finding stuff out on your own before asking for help, as this is the best way to get to know the software.
If you absolutely need this hack, you could add an if/then switch into the code of index.php that checks for cat==0. There are postings that explain in detail how to modify the code to accomplish this, please search the board.
