Well, the problem is you are trying to make template changes to a heavily modified skin. All the templates have changed. It's going to take some work. We'll have to go through each mod change one at a time.

Here is what I suggest:

1: Setup a test board (vbulletin allows one test board in their licensing, so it's not an issue).

2: Add your skin.

3: Install one hack at a time and as soon as you run into a problem post it here and we'll see if we can't find the solution. Don't keep going until we fix the problem, or you'll just confuse things.

4. Be patient - I'll answer and help, and I'm sure others will, but we also have other things to do and we want to see that you are putting in time and effort and learning as we go, too

then add this under it...
<!-- AddonChat -->
<td id="sigmachat" class="vbmenu_control">

JOKE!!! Like all the mods that require this sort of thing, the "find" is NOT THERE!!!

With regards to the version I had before, it was 3.5.4 sorry about that!!

Yup - it's because you have modified templates. Here is how I would do it (using the case you show above as an example).

Clearly the chat is trying to place a menu for itself after the calendar in your nav bar. Everyone seems to want to go after the calendar - I guess it's become sort of a defacto standard.

So what you want to do, is search for "calendar", and what you will find is lines that look sort of like the ones you are looking for, but not exactly. They should have calendar.php and $vbphrase[calendar] in them at least.

Then just add the code after that. If you are confused, show us the line with the calender.php and a few lines before and after it, and we should be able to see what's going on.
