how to place Menu Buttons on left/right instead on top?

[Nitro]

as you all know, the buttons appear on top:
home | help | search| etc... etc...

how can i place these buttons on the left/right side of my forum?

i would like to know this because i have so many MODs installed and i have lots of buttons on top of the forum.

i would appreciate if someone can tell me where can i modify this.

thank you in advance!

In index.template.php you will find:

Code Select Expand

// Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
template_menu();

and that is what shows the menu buttons .. you need to move it from there and use a two columns layout. Look how it was done in the CurveSMF theme.

If you still having trouble please send me your index.temaplte.php and I'll make it for you.

OH NO! i made a big mess! i had to put back again my index back up file. now it is working normal. i am thinking i am going to take your word for it, i really appreciate your help.
i am sending you a copy of my file. i would love to compare with original files because i need to learn these things. i have been reading some php programming but there is so much to learn!

thank you so much!
