I was never a fan on the navbar layout, especially for sites running a banner ad above or below it. The navbar + banner took up too much space on top of each page. This is my attempt to consolidate and give the forum a different feel:
WARNING: This removes all your navigation at the bottom of your navbar. You will need to relocate it to the header via this hack:

So let's try it. Go to:
Style Manager > Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates > navbar
Replace all existing content with this.
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function log_out()

ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");
ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grays cale=1)";
if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))
{
return true;
}
else
{
ht[0].style.filter = "";
return false;
}
}
//-->

Possible Bug: Can?t use the navbar to log in from a different directory on the forum (ie: /gallery)
This is my first release of anything here, so take it for what is worth. If you can help me improve this, please test it and help out
This should probably be a plugin but I don?t know how to make one.
