I have always been put off from having a template with navigation buttons rather than having the default navigation bar, what I was wondering is, is it as easy to edit a template with navigation buttons as it is to edit a template with the default navigation bar?

Thanks

to edit any template you need a good understanding of HTML and you need to understand how the template system works

I'm quite familar now with the default navigation bar on vbulletin, is a button template alot different to edit than that one?

Was thinking of going for one as I think they look tidier and easier to navigate.

Thanks

I'm guessing it will be more complicated as there will be more code.
However, if you understand HTML - editing any template is easy.

I recommend viewing the source code of the 'button" site and looking at the navigation code.

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