Well, this is really dependent on your boards and how your site is designed. What I would suggest is that you design your page in html, focusing on the header. This means that you'd have to create the buttons and graphics just as you were doing a normal web page. You'll have to create buttons for each of the elements of vB and you can find the links for each button (i.e. what happens when you click on a button) in the header section of the "Styles" portion of the Admin control panel.

Second, when you're done designing the page, you need to copy the code and place it in the header in vB. So, you would:

1. Login to the Administrator's control panel
2. Browse to "Styles" and click "Modify"
3. Copy and paste your code into the "Header" section.

You'll need to spend some time working with the code to get it to work just the way you want.

To give you an example of what I did for my board, using the above steps:

1. I created my web site [link]
2. I installed vB, customised colors and options.
3. Created new navigation buttons for vB
4. Instered my navigation and header code into the "Header" template
5. My board was integrated [link]

Hope that helps!

that was exactly what i was looking for man thanks
