You can move the breadcrumb anywhere on the page you want without editing the header or navbar templates.
Go to ACP->Styles & Templates->Style Manager.
For your template, select Edit Templates. Then go to CSS Templates and select vbulletin-chrome.css
Locate this code in the template..
Code:
/*************************************************/
/* BREADCRUMB */
.breadcrumb > ul {
background:transparent url({vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/navbit-home.png) {vb:stylevar left} top no-repeat;
border:none;
}
And replace with this..
Code:
/*************************************************/
/* BREADCRUMB */
.breadcrumb > ul {
background:transparent url({vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/navbit-home.png) {vb:stylevar left} top no-repeat;
border:none;
position:absolute;
top:60px;
left:450px;
}
On the standard vB template, that will place the Breadcrumb on the same line as the navtabs next to the What's New button.
You can adjust it's position by changing the top and left values to put it anywhere on the page you want.
EDIT: For some custom templates, you may need to find the breadcrumb in additional.css.
