Sorry for jumping in on this Adam but I have changed your code just slightly and made it available on all forum pages.
I have done the following on a clean install of vBulletin v3.6.7 and have done some basic testing in both Firefox 2.0.0.4 and I.E. v7
Firstly insert the following code (Adam's code with some minor adjustments) in your NavBar template between the Blue areas:
Code:
<!-- / nav buttons bar -->

</tr>
</table>
