Changes to your HTML and probably CSS templates. You'll have to be more specific to get proper assistance from members here though as that's way to broad.

How more specific can I be when I said I wanted to move the navigation bar to the top of the page?

Lean HTML and CSS, and use those skills to re-arrange the templates as required.

This is something that is not directly easy, and doing it for you would be a moderate amount of work.

I think you would need to edit every single page template (FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY, SHOWTHREAD, etc) and put the call to the navbar template above the header template. You may have to also edit those two template to make sure the div tags are flowing correctly.

I know HTML and CSS its just that vbulletin has a learning curve from IP.Board. See vBulletin dose not have a global template like IP.Board so this is why I asked.

It may be easier to take the part of the code you need above the logo (the primary nav from the navbar template) into the header template and then write a plugin that registers the needed navbar variables for use in the header template. I can't think of how else to have it 'split' like you want.
