Nav bar and pages
 

Just went from a wordpress page to the vbulletin CMS so we could add a nice forum to the site. I am trying to figure how to make additional page such as an "about us" and "photo gallery" and such and want to add them to the navigation bar where "home", "forum", "blog", and "whats new" is located. I tried adding sections but thats just under the home page apparently. Pretty new at vb software for sure. thanks.

Kinda depends on exactly what you want. You could use the CMS to make the page and then just make a navtab to link to that page. or, you can make your own page for those following one of these:
[HOW TO - vB4] Create your own vBulletin page
[HOW TO - vB4] Create a own vBulletin page (without plugin and php file)

I guess I have been trying to figure out how to use the CMS to make a new page, what am I missing?

Or is the only way to use the directions in your how-to's?

You can make a page using the CMS and then create a navtab the links to the page. I said you could do that too. There are articles on how to create a navtab.
