Hello guys!

I got my Vb lisence a couple of days ago and I've installed some hacks, and now its started to take shape, I dare not mess it up! Yeah, i know...

So, I'm asking you guys! I got my own ickle forums at http://www.indeathwefall.co.uk/forums and i want a more interesting header. I like the logo, but i want the buttons attached to the bottom of it like the image attached.

any ideas on how i can achieve this?

Image mapping, google it, you'll find some hel;pful info.

dont i have to change me template atall?

[Dan]

yes just the HEADER template

[idwf]

OK. can you show me what I'll been to edit? I.E the text in my header template?

[Dan]

you have to wipe the whole header templete out i think and put new HTML code in there for your new HEADER

Don't wipe the whole thing as the lower section is needed to ensure your forum keeps it shape.

Look for the links and the logo section and modify it from there. If you want my honest opinion, look over a few HTML sites if you are not too familiar with HTML and stear clear of image maps -- they are becoming more and more useless as single images aligned together work much better and load faster.

<!-- content table -->
<table bgcolor="{pagebgcolor}" width="{tablewidth}" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td>

That code MUST STAY in your header template. :)
