Help with editing the headers:
 

I'm using 3.8.2, but one of the skins we've got was designed for an older build ( i beleive 3.6 someinth... i'll have to check)

Anyways... I'm trying to edit the header to include a shoutbox.. but for the life of me i can't seem to be able to center it like on the main skin, and it throws off the rest of the layout.

So i have a couple questions.
One is it possible to update a skin to being a 3.8.2 version (and if so is it hard/how would i do it?)
And also... if i were to post up the code, would somebody be able to help out with centering it and also editing the navbar options?

Yes, you may update a skin. I've been using the same skin since 3.0 and have updated it to 3.8. Basically, you go through every modified template (they are in red) and compare it to the default template for that version and add in any code that Jelsoft added.
