amanda, to do this requires some HTML knowledge, if you dont have any then dont attempt it or you could screw up your forums look.
In the includes folder you have two files, one called header.asp and the other footer.asp:
In header.asp look for the following code:
wrote:
<script language="JavaScript" src="includes/default_javascript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<!--#include file="skin_file.asp" -->
</head>
<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" bgcolor="<% = strBgColour %>" text="<% = strTextColour %>" background="<% = strBgImage %>"> |
And in footer.asp:
wrote:
</body>
</html> |
Please Note: Yours may not be identical to mine above.
What you need to try imagine is that the forum is in one big table cell, so basically you want to build more cells around the forum one.
Like so:
<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" bgcolor="<% = strBgColour %>" text="<% = strTextColour %>" background="<% = strBgImage %>">
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td colspan="3">Header contents here</td>
<tr>
<td width="10%">Menu in this Cell</td><td width="80%">Forum in this Cell</td><td width="10%">Right content in this Cell</td>
</tr>
</table>
What the above would give you is a basic 3 column look with links down the left, the forum in the middle, and content down the right.
(Note that is just a rough design to give you an idea of what you need to do.)
See the next post on how to place it in your files.
