how to remove this.....
 

Can someone tell me how to get rid of this entire bar ?

We have buttons at the top that do the same functions, and then this one
would like to get rid of the links and leave the buttons.

The code for that bit is contained in the navbar template.

yep, found it in the navbar template, but how can I remove just this entire line completely and if I do anything do this, will is mess up my buttons that I have doing the same thing up at the top of the forum page ( customized skin buttons )

??

Try commenting out the whole sections in the navbar that are between:
<!-- nav buttons bar -->
and
<!-- / nav buttons bar -->

and also
<!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->
and
<!-- / PAGENAV POPUP -->

I am not proficient at html/css etc....

I know some stuff, but not a whole lot

what commenting out should I be trying Html or php
and how is it done correctly ?

thx Lynne
hope you get paid for your support, cuz its stupendous !!!

In order to comment out html (which are what templates use), you use the following lines:

<!--
all the stuff to comment out
-->

However, that will still show in your source code. I would comment it out at first and see if the page works how you want, then I would go and delete it. Or, save the current navbar template, delete the stuff, if it doesn't work then go back to a saved copy of the navbar.

As an aside, if you are wanting to comment out php (which are what plugins and php pages use), you would use:
/*
stuff to comment out
*/

cool

thx again.................will try that out

UPDATED: worked like a charm
only commented out the <!-- nav buttons bar --> portion

should I be doing the others as well for any particular reason ?
