Moving member login

Yeah, I'm a newbie with probably a very simple question. I did a search but nothing I could find gives an exact 'HowTo'.

Here's my question . . . I want to move the login/logout function to the top of the forum just below this:

Welcome back, xxxx
View New Posts
[login/logout]

I'm hoping someone would be able to explain 1,2,3 exactly how I can accomplish this.

I can follow directions - just yesterday installed the expand/collapse forum hack - my first! - without a hitch. So I've done some mucking around the templates but mostly it's still foreign territory.

Remember, it's good karma to help out eager newbies! :classic:

Find $logincode in your forumhome template and move it under the welcome text

Thanks for the quick response. I kinda' know what that means as I actually located the code but . . . I'm not too sure how much to move or where to move it. Keep in mind that six months ago, I couldn't even read HTML! Mucking around all the PHP and MSQL code makes me very nervous because I don't have a clue - yet - what any of those non-HTML symbols do or how it should be laid out. So could you please be more specific? The hack I did was sooo easy because everything was spelled out clearly. If you could put something in that kind of format, it would be a snap and then I'd have a a good idea of how to figure something out on my own next time!!

WOW! That simple. I thought sure there would be a whole lot of code that needed moving. Thanks a bunch!!!
