This is rather easy if you just copy the code that's already there in the Navigation/Breadcrumbs => Navbar Template.

I wanted to add a Gallery link to my nav bar. I added this:
<!-- Gallery Link Addon -->
<if condition="$show['popups']">
<td id="gallery" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#gallery"><font color="#ffcc00">Galleries</font></a>
<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("gallery"); </script></td>
</if>
<!-- END Gallery Link Addon -->

At the bottom of that same template I added:

<!-- Gallery Addon Menu -->
<if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">
<!-- header Gallery Links-->
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="gallery_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr><td class="thead">Gallery Links</td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.YOURSITE.com/gallery/">Member Gallery</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.YOURSITE.com/premiere_gallery/">Premiere Gallery</a></td></tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- / header gallery Links-->
</if>
<!-- END Gallery Addon Menu -->


This code created the Gallery PULL DOWN you see in the attached image.

Another question,... how do you force a line feed (i.e.) and extra line in the navbar.

An extra line? Like at www.ntlhellworld.com? If thats what you are after I'll grab the code out of my navbar template for you.

As you will see from that there is a <-- second row --> in the code with a </tr> above it and a <tr align="center"> below it. Then all you do is add the extra links with the normal format of <td class="vbmenu_control"> ............................................</td>

OK, This is great, BUT....

How do you do conditionals with this?

I need it for the same reason, the gallery, and I created simple links for Gallery Home, New Images, and New Replies. But I want the link for "My Gallery" that would show the member their own gallery. How would I do that?

consider this is for a row stores the link to the gallery:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="gallery.php?$session[sessionurl]">Gallery</a></td>

to allow only registered users:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid]"><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="gallery.php?$session[sessionurl]">Gallery</a></td></if>
