Ok I'm confused on how to integrate my own sidebar with the forum in version 7.96 lite
I understand (in the installations guide) that you have to edit the header and footer (in the includes folder). So I started coding a sidebar table which started in the header file and closed it in the footer file. I coded my sidebar in frontpage considering it's easier and stripped the frontpage extra code and just included what was between the <table> and </table> code. But i can't actually get my sidebar to be on the left side of the forum. I don't know if i should have 1 or 2 columns in my sidebar and add some code in the 2nd column or what. I searched on here and got 2 hits but didn't help any...

and the installation file that came with the forum
http://www.behind-the-lyrics.com/forum/ - This is my messed up site i'm trying to code.
well here is the header.asp file (original)
<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 here is the footer.asp file (original)
<!-- footer -->
</body>
</html>
---------------
and this is what frontpage gave me (with everything, head, body, etc)
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>
<body>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="953" height="500" bgcolor="#00FFFF" border="1" bordercolor="#000000">
<!-- MSTableType="layout" -->
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="122">

<p> </p>
<p> </tr>
<td valign="top" height="498" width="825">

</tr>
</table>
</body>
