I want to move some links etc. from the top of my forum (header) and have them displayed on the left hand side, how would I do this? Maybe use a table?

Have your header end with: <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2"><tr><td width="20%" valign="top"> Put your left sidebar stuff here </td><td valign="top"> Then at the top of your footer - put this: </td></tr></table> That should do it.

Oops, I need it to go along side the forums though, not just the side of the header. When I did this it put the table in the header and just pushed the forums down.

My mistake - didn't need the <tr> tags in the middle. I just edited the section above that would go after the sidebar removing the </tr> and the <tr>

Can you explain? I just tested the above. www.joshuapettit.comVery simple table. Do you have a link, I can probably tell what's going wrong.

I just need something like what http://ls1tech.com has on the right hand side of their site, a table that goes the length of the table so I can put links there.

You said left. To do it on the right side...... the sidebar part goes in the footer. This part would go in the header: <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2"><tr><td width="20%" valign="top"> <tr><td valign="top"> Then in your footer you would put: </td>><td width="20%" valign="top"> Put your sidebar HTML here </td></tr><table>

Then what I posted first does that......
Just put whatever HTML you want where I say "Put your left sidebar stuff here".
use whatever HTML you want there - construct a table - add graphics, add links etc....

The newest "popup free" chatroom uses iFrames and so it won't work with a sidebar. You might need to use the older mod (with the popup window) if you need the sidebar to appear on the chat page.

Ahh, just reread your post, I wouldn't really need the sidebar on the chat page either way.

If you used the Sidebar modificaton - then you could turn it off on select pages and users could choose to have it left / right or off.

OK, without reading 300 pages of posts would there be a way to keep the sidebar on so that no one would have the option of turning it off?

Yeah, just leave the "off" option out of edtibasic. Only give them the left/right choice.

You can also use the SIDEBAR hack to make this working. Check out the Hack Archive on this page to find it.

Well I tried this again and I think the problem is when my chat room display hack displays "There is also 1 User in the Chat Room. Go and Join Them!" in the table under the nav bar, when that is displaying all the forums get pushed down instead of moved to the right, any way around this?

I'm doing something similar to this and using the suggestions already posted, I have it almost working. But, what I'm trying to do is create a small table to the left of the main table. This will be a navigational menu for my websites. I don't want it next to the header, but below and to the left of it. I won't be displaying it on the forum, just on my other integrated, informational pages. What I'm having problems with is closing the table and keeping it to the left, without the style wrapping around the right table. I'm close, but if you view what I've done up until this point, you'll get what I'm talking about I think. Suggestions? Here's the link: Integrated Page Thanks all.

Basically what you need for the sidebar is this code TO OPEN: <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td align="center" valign="top" width="15%"> MENU STUFF HERE </td> <td width="10"> </td> <td align="center" valign="top"> TO CLOSE: </td> </tr> </table> From what I see you have find this: <br /> <!-- Menu goes here --> <table align="center" width="95%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" class="tablesurround"> Change to: <br /> <!-- Menu goes here --> <table align="center" width="95%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

Thanks Chuck, really close, but I was trying to do it with the tablesurround class to give the menu borders some weight, like the text area to the right. Made the changes you suggested. Will get back to work on it a little later. This might work for me yet though. Thinking about it. Closest I've been so far. Thanks again.

What actually happened was that I was using the class tablesurround in the wrong table tag after adding in the code you mentioned. Oops! I've actually ported most of my guild EverQuest site over already today. Tons more work to do though. Thanks again for the assist!
