Hi. Complete newbie here, who has got the thing set up and running. However, I am not happy with the layout at the top.

I would like to remove the board title, and move the my profile | register | search | faq | forum home links, below, the >>Hello, Username [log out] text. You'll see what I mean when you view my board:

http://www.tradmusic.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

I don't like the spacing at the top (it's too close to my nav buttons) and it would give me a couple of cm screen space back if I could move stuff to the left. I would also benefit from moving the dark green cell up a bit so that it was closer to the welcome text and Welcome to our newest member.

Can't find this in any manual...and the only thing I can spot in the Config options is the facility to change the title text?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Regards
Nathon

Ever thought of using the JCTemplates? (you'll need to upgrade to the latest version) They are highly customized and easy to use

Check my sig line for more details, we'd be happy to see you there!

Hi,

My UBB is 6.05 though and your site indicates that I need 6.2 or above?

(D-OH! - just noticed your recommendation to upgrade. Can't really stretch to the $99 and it didn't seem like too challenging a problem, just a question of table layout and inclusion of the dynamic/script bits, in the right cells to achieve my desired layout).

I'm just not sure HOW you edit this...is this a case of getting the sleeves up and digging into the code somewhere?? - Nyikes!)

regards

The unfortunate part is you will need to edit pratically EVERY public_ template. open each one and look for either:

<TABLE border="0" width="$vars_style{TableWidth}">
<TR><TD align="left" valign="top" >
<A HREF="$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi"><IMG src="$vars_config{NonCGIURL}/$vars_style{BBTitle}" border="0"></A>
</TD>
<TD align="center">
[b]
<FONT size="3" face="$vars_style{FontFace}" color="$vars_style{BBTitleFontColor}">$vars_config{BBName}</FONT>[/b]


<FONT size="1" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">
$MainButtonsLine
</FONT>
</TD></TR></TABLE>

or:

$standard_title_table

and remove them. Then find:

$TBT

<TR bgcolor="$vars_style{AltColumnColor1}">
<TD valign="bottom" align="left">
<FONT size="1" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">
[b]» 
$show_logout
[/b]</font>
</TD>
<TD valign="bottom" align="right">
<FONT size="1" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">[b]$RegisteredMemberLine[/b]</font>
</TD>
</TR>

$TBB

or close to it in each template and add:

<tr>
<TD valign="bottom" align="right" colspan="2">
<FONT size="1" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">[b]$MainButtonsLine[/b]</font>
</TD>
</TR>

Have fun
