Hello,
I'm sure this is a really easy request, but I'm not a programmer so for me it's not. :ermm:
I want to add a couple links to other pages on a site to the navigation bar on our bbs. Also I want to make the New Posts have a count next to it so it might read New Posts (25) for example.

Can someone please help me with this and tell me which place I install it?
I don't mind hacking at templates, but I just need to know where to go and what to add.

Many many MANY thanks in advance.
Beth

It would be the "navbar" template. However adding a number next to new posts would not be a good idea because of people constantly posting it would change that number which is displayed on every page/requests on your forum. Traditional caching would be ineffective, and if you fudged it then the number wouldn't be accurate (it could say 25 when in reality there could be like 50 depending on how active your site is)...

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
