Hi all,got a few things i need to change that I'm sure will be incredibly simple for most of you here but unfortunately I have no knowledge of the code.

www.gamerscomm.net/forum

Firstly(and probably most simply)I need move

Welcome to our newest member, WarbEE

over to the right directly opposite the forum name,now I honestly spent ages trying to get that right and couldnt do it which I'm embarrased to admit as I can seem to move other parts about without a prob :P

Ok now for www.gamerscomm.net I want to move latest forum discussions and website poll to the right of the news posts,I was kind of told how to do this put this

</td>
<td valign="top">

above the elements I want to move,but all this did was move them to a column next to where they were originally! again i tried some trial and error but didnt get it right I'm afraid.

The last thing and probably the hardest is to make my hompage tables carry the images as my forum does(but only the welcome,poll,latest posts etc etc not the news postings),of which I have no idea what so ever how to do it hehe.


I'd appreciate any help or advice you can offer me.


regards

1st off i like that template, where did you get it

2nd try taking out (if there is) the <br> tag or put <td valign=right></td>

3rd cut the php code of the latest dicussions and just paste it before login, but if your using vbp its a simple fix, go to admin/sideblocks/ and edit it to be on top

4th repharse that not to sure what you want

1. So, you just want to align what you posted to the right? Just change the <td> tag it uses in forumhome to the right so it would look this this:

<td align="right">

Thx for the help.

jakelshark I still cant seem to move the members etc over to the right,I can move it but it destroys the forum background etc so I think it maybe the way the skin is coded(but there must be a way)

Tony,dont think I worded it correctly,its my forum homepage I want to change,I want to move "latest forum discussions" and "Website Poll" to the right of the actual news posts,leaving sites of interest,visit our sponsor and the welcome part on the left of news where it is now.Probably need to change some sizes to make it look ok aswell(not sure if this is possible to do without resizing the forum also,as it runs from vB)

Jakelshark last question was how to get the tables on my homepage to have the same images as the tables on the forum but you can ignore this as I no-longer want to do it I think it would look too much.

kind regards

ohh

the best way to solve the problem is to send a copy of the code, then we can see for ourselves

OK,the other stuff is sorted and all I want to do now is move the poll and latest forum discussions over to the right(other side of news postings to what they are now) on my Homepage www.gamerscomm.net

I'll paste my homepage template text below.

{htmldoctype}
<html>
<head>
<!-- no cache headers -->
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="no-cache">

<!-- end -->
<title>$hometitle</title>
$homeheadinclude
</head>
<body>
$homeheader
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="{tableinnerborderwidth}" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="220" valign="top">
<table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="{tablebordercolor}" {tableouterextra} width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="{tableinnerborderwidth}" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">
<tr id="cat">
<td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}"><smallfont><font color="{categoryfontcolor}">$welcometext</font></smallfont></td>
</tr>
$userloggedinout
$pminfo
$search
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
$latestpoll
$advertisement
<table cellpadding="{tableouterborderwidth}" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="{tablebordercolor}" {tableouterextra} width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="{tableinnerborderwidth}" border="0" {tableinnerextra} width="100%">
<tr id="cat">
<td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}"><smallfont><a href="$bburl/index.php?s="$session[sessionhash]"><b>Latest Forum Discussions</b></a></smallfont></td>
</tr>
$threadbits
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
$links
</td>
<td width="7">&nbsp;</td>
<td valign="top">$articlebits</td>
</tr>
</table>
$homefooter
</body>
</html>


Hope you can help,I can move the stuff to other columns just cant seem to get them to the other side of the article bits without making a mess of the page,I know its only basic stuff but unless I see how its done I wont know hehe.

Kind regards
