Dont worry about it, we all have to start somewhere.

Unless I am mistaken, the whose online can be moved to the top of your forum through a template edit. Look int he forum home templates to start.

Incidentally, if you turn on the debug option in your admincp, you can view the html source of a page (via your browser of course) and vb will have notes on which templates are for what.

You want to bring Who's Online to the top right?

Go to your admin cp -> Style Manager -> {Your Template Set Name} -> Forum home Templates -> select FORUMHOME

Now in forum home look for:

<!-- what's going on box -->

That code is for the whole whats going on box - it will look like this after the edit

Take that code and paste it right after you see this

<body>
$header
$navbar

Hope that helps, let me know if not.

[tjad]

there is no
Go to your admin cp -> Style Manager ->(((((((( {Your Template Set Name} -> Forum home Templates -> select FORUMHOME))))))))

there is admin cp styles manager but not what u said is there..same as the other stuff u said...is my forum diff then others..if so why..maybe that why m having such a hard time at this...i meanusually u can follow 123 steps and there no following it on my board cause u can see 1 and 2 burt not three..so all the things u asked me to look for on both posts i cant find at all..cause i cant get ot the other step..
how long till u cant return the forum...cause ..i cant follow the manual if the steps say one thing the same as what people say and my forum just isnt set that way..

[Reeve of shinra]

I think its just you. Thousands of other people have had no problems what so ever installing vbulletin and getting it to work to thier satisifaction.

Take a minute and look through VBulletins official documentaton (its linked on vbulletin.com) I think that will answer alot of your questions.

Specifically, what ted is saying is that you need to go into the admincp styles manager and once there, go into whatever the style name is your looking to edit and then go to the forum home templates, expand that and the edit the forumhome template.

You will simply need to play around and get used to the system. Almost every bbs works the same way.

ok i will try again tonight/

thank u.,.ill let ya know if my brain connects with the board yet...lol
