How to make a forum look like this?

[Emil]

Can someone please help me on how to set up a forum layout to look like this?

Basically, I want to be able to put ads on the left part (all pages) and then have the forum centered on the big right part and have a header menu like that..

If someone could help, that would be great.. Thank you!

The simplest way would be to use CSS positioning. Do it in Dreamweaver or something first so you get the CSS just right, then copy it into your VB style.

Depending where you want the sidebar, you will need 2 DIV boxes. One for the sidebar, and another around the forum. Place the DIV code in VB header, and VB Footer. Place the CSS in the last box of your style "main vars" page. If you want it all centred you might need a 3rd DIV around both of the above; use float for the sidebar in this instance.

Again, depends how you want it laid out, but the basic answer to your question, I would say CSS positioning is the way to go. Although someone might have other suggestions.....

Thanks for the reply!

I will try that and hopefully it works.. Thanks again


EDIT: I tried it.. And I'm not that good with the whole coding bit so I couldnt get it to work properly..

Do you think there's any chance that you could write up the code for me and tell me exactly where to put it (where the side bar is on the left side)?

I understand if you dont have time or if you dont want to do it. But I would really appreciate it a lot!
