Hi, All -

I'm new here and need some help.

I designed a skin (with several nested tables) using the design mode of Dreamweaver that I would like to use as a shell for my vBulletin forum.

I originally cut and pasted the code from the Dreamweaver page I had created directly into the "Header" code box that shows up at Styles and Templates --> Style Manager --> Common Templates (after having cut some of the default VB coding that initially shows up in the "Header" box). That was great insofar as it pulled the whole skin I had built in Dreamweaver into VB ... but, it did this in a way that inserts the VB forum page into one of the table spaces I had initially created at the very bottom of the page. I was able to go into the CP and modify the width of the VB forum so that it fits flush with the table scheme I layed out in Dreamweaver. I can not, howeverm, figure out how to raise the VB forum up into a higher position. I hope this makes sense the way I have described it ... again, I'm a novice.

I spoke with the folks at VB and they suggetsed doing a posting here to get help fixing/separating the header/footer code so that the VB forum wraps in a way that works with the established table spaces. If you go to If anyone out there can help, it would be hugely appreciated!

The current web view of what I have created so far is here:

http://larutamayaforfoodies.com/forums/ (you'll see the VB forum element there at the bottom)

And below is the entire code for the skin (with nested tables) I built in Dreamweaver:

Change your table height to something more realistic.

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