Bassicly I am trying to create a new table. I added a second nav bar, but I want to create a table between the two nav bars so that I can place my forum banner inside of it.

So how might i go about creating this table?

o.O if you go and modify the template for the navbar ..
you can go to the end of the template and add a break line
<br>

And creat antoher table

<table>
<tr width=100%>
td></td>
</tr>
</table>

and you should have a table under the nav bar directly ..
fill it with the variables that you want and modifiy it as you want

I am trying to add a table to the bottom of my forums under the calender events for the google adds. I added a table between the two nav bars and now it looks like this?

I may have phrased that wrong in my first post. I am trying to make a border of sorts to fill in the gap between the two nav bars.

Help Please?!

I have inlcuded screen shots of both.

First off thank you so much for helping. :)

Secondly I have atched my nav bar template below. I have attached 2 screen shots. The first one is how my forums nav bar looks. The second one shows a border connecting the two nav bar around the forum banner. I doctored the second picture as to explain what I am trying to achieve.

GENIUS :) Thank you sooooo much, but I still have 2 questions.

On the default skins it makes a purpleish box around the banner. Can I remove that?

Secondly, is there anyways to get the extra space out between the nav bars and the banner?

Lastley you used this varible to create the table:
<tr align="center">
<td colspan="8">
<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="http://www.xtremepain.net/banners/index.php" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a>
</td>
</tr>
<!-- / top nav buttons bar -->


By using that as a tempalte can this be used to create another table belwo the courrent events table to place my google adds in?

Thank you again for your help.

Yes the row takes the style of the table it's
if you want the back ground a white one .. you can change the code
<td colspan="8">
with
<td colspan="8" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">


Secondly, is there anyways to get the extra space out between the nav bars and the banner?
yes
use
<td colspan="8" cellspacing="0">

By using that as a tempalte can this be used to create another table belwo the courrent events table to place my google adds in?

actully this code will only add a table row with one columns ( actully span 8 columns at once )

so if you want to add it in another table make sure that the number of columns in that table and add it in the
<td colspan="8">

Thank you again, but the spacing isn't working. I changed
<td colspan="8">
to
<td colspan="8" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

The bgcolor took affect but there is still a gap. As best I can see i added those codes togeather correct.

On the table thing, how can I distinguish what colspan number to use? I THINK I can figure the rest out form there.:ermm:

Sorry my mistake i understoed it wrong

please change the code from
<td colspan="8" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
to
<td colspan="8" height="AAAA"> bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

And replace the AAAA with the height of your Image

Thanks again, but again that did not work. My banner is 200 pixels high. I replaced AAAA to 200. That did not change it. I chaned AAAA to 150 and it still did nothing.

On the second code I assume you meant:
<td colspan="8" height="AAAA" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
not
<td colspan="8" height="AAAA"> bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
Correct?

So my code looks like
<td colspan="8" height="200" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

omg i compleatly overlooked themain table

if you check up the code you'll find something cellpadding="6"

that is what is causing the space

you have to set it to 0

LOL...hmm maybe we should give this a shot today?

Ok here is what I had BEFORE your last posL

<tr align="center">
<td colspan="8" style="height:200px; bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="http://www.xtremepain.net/banners/index.php" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a>
</td>
</tr>


Here is what I have now.


<tr align="center">
<td colspan="8" cellpadding="0" style="height:200px; bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="http://www.xtremepain.net/banners/index.php" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a>
</td>
</tr>


The gaps are still there and the table is still not padded. :ermm:

I am going to atempt to switch the nav bars myself as I was actually wanting to put the navbar I added to be on bottom and the default one be on top. I will let you knwo hwo that goes though.
