Sorry in advance if this is a stupid question. I'm kind of in a hurry so I didn't get the chance to search through everything. I did look around but couldn't find an answer to my question.

So here goes: I just bought a vB license today for my graphics community (www.elusive-works.co.uk) and of course, I have to skin it. I want to be original and not buy a skin or anything. The problem that comes with that is, I don't know how to do certain things. One thing I find most important is knowing how to move certain aspects of the boards around. By default one's avatar shows above his/her post. I would like this to be next to the persons post instead.

A good example of what I'd like to have is how it's done on this website: http://www.warriornation.net/Forum/showthread.php?t=178910

As you can see, the avatar and user names appear next to the post, and that only seems logical to me. I like it much better than above the post.
Another thing I'd like is having the currently active user list on the top instead of bottom of the main forum index, as well as in threads. It's what I'm used to and I like it.


If someone happens to know of a tutorial on how to do these things, please tell me.

Thanks.

Alright. Stupid question lol.

What about the currently active user lists? And some of the profile editable details on the bottom of a post?

You can edit the FORUMHOME template to move things around on teh forumhome.

Details inside the post you can change in the postbit (or if you set the above option to yes the postbit_legacy) template.
