thanks for the reply. supprised it was so fast.

good lord... i didnt think php script was so... garbled. i think ill stick with html and visual basic.

could you or someone else give me an example of adding a button to link to a page. just for the example say... the button is displayed as "example page" and the link to the page is in the forum directory root "example1.php"

can you show me something like this and give me a basic area on where to put it in the page?

seems my confidence in being able to look at php code and pick up the basics was slightly misplaced.

edit:

i guess i know a little more at what im doing than i origonally thought. here is what i have done. doesnt work completely yet.

$template_hook[navbar_buttons_left]
	<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[faq]</a></td>
	<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="showroster.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[clan_roster]</a></td>
	<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td>

``

in red is what i have added as the first page. however when i do this it does not show up. but if i replace that with

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="showroster.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td>

then i get 2 members list buttons and one points to the page i want it to go. i figure there is a declaration somewhere in there that im not seeing but i dont know where it is. ideas?
