        <td class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt; padding-top:1px" colspan="3"><a href="$scriptpath"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_finallink.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reload_this_page]" border="0" /></a> <strong>$navbits[lastelement]</strong></td>

</tr>

</table> 

</td></tr></table> 

<else />

<div class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]" accesskey="1"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong></div>

</if>

<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">

<tr>

<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>

<td align="$stylevar[right]">

<!--

NEW HEADER &amp; NAVBAR

 

Now that the nav buttons are in the

navbar template, you can stick whatever

you like into this space.

This makes it much easier for novice

admins to customize their header

template without affecting important

navigation elements.

-->

</td>

</tr>

</table>

* Now you are done! Save the header template and go check it out.
